In FR localized OOo I enter dates in French standard format DD/MM/YY or
DD/MM/YYYY, not in US format. Which locale are you using ?
And if I want to see the dates in format like "dimanche 14 novembre
2009" I do not like to enter a so long text. So I do not want that the
input format would be identical to the display format.

I Agree.

Not ok : here I think you generate an issue for OpenDocument format
because, if I understand well, you need to store the input format in the
file. Input format should be relative only to the user interface.
Another user should be able to enter dates with its own input format
without knowing anything about an input format related to this file. So
input date format should be defined only at OOo's UI level, in the same
way as the decimal separator.
