yep, that answers my question but, is there any work done to perhaps add an 
attribute where the author can specify the date format they require/want?

Thanks, Scott

I think the following note answers your question:

"Note: The format shown to the user is independent of the format used for form 
submission. Browsers are encouraged to use user interfaces that present dates 
according to the conventions of the user's preferred locale." -

Hey all,

Asked this on IRC and got no response so here goes:

Is there a way to specify the locale input type=daye should use or does it 
simply use the current locale? If so, does it choose the server locale or the 
user locale?

Kind Regards,
