Yes, ideally, some subset of the input formats would be translated and
the form would carry some information about the language it expects to
process (which could well be different from the user's locale setting,
since the latter can change and the former won't necessarily). Providing
we make the default "en-us", that's all backwards compatible, too.
We might need to carry that information about what formats are
permissible outside of a PO file, though. Perhaps along with the
information I want to put into 1.1 on things like decimal-separator and
first-day-of-the-week. It's just that a Python list is a much more
natural way of describing that information than trying to force it into
msgid/msgstr format (although the latter is slightly more friendly for
no-think-mode for translators, but sometimes translators have to give a
little, too, since we go out of our way a lot for them already).

The timing isn't too bad. Getting better i18n support for dates is
something I'm going to work more heavily on after the alpha release,
which could well mean reviewing a whole bunch of patches and applying
things.
