Ok, for clarifying the docs; it's one of those things that once you know 
about it then you know about it, but previous to this it is easy to quickly 
scan the page and thing you "got it" without having actually noticed that 
the lines before what appears to be the important stuff are a pre-requisite 
to interpret that stuff the right way. I guess a title like "ViewWidget 
DateFormats" would be clearer in this regard. No real biggie, but since you 
asked.


BTW, there's a monthly typo in the example at bottom stating 

DDth MMM \M\M\M YYYY16th February MMM 2011
