We've been through this already.  The default format for all unregistered users
should be "28 May 1996" as per RFC 2822.  Then you only need to cache one
version of the page.

But the dates should be given a class name like <span class="localizedate">, so
that third-party tools can recognize from the HTML which dates should be left
verbatim and which can be localized.

This offloads the formatting for anons into a javascript, which can be written
at any later date and doesn't have anything to do with Mediawiki itself.
