Replies on two issues:

* Time format: times like these are stored internally with second precision.
The formatting is not stored, just the actual time. It will be formatted during
output depending on how the value is displayed. Typically, SMW uses a human
readable, MW-like format. In query results, there are some options to get other
formats (e.g., ISO dates). Some output formats such as Timeline have their own
date rendering code that may differ from SMW.

* Configuration: the setting "$smwgPageSpecialProperties[] = 'Creation date';"
still seems to depend on the user language setting. It would be better to have
"$smwgPageSpecialProperties[] = '_CDAT';" to keep LocalSettings.php language
independent.

* Quirk: nice name. I am open to any ideas to make such changes instantaneous.
But as it is, all you can do to add the data is to run the relevant source code
for all pages, which simply takes so long that a job-based method is the best
we can do. This is not really an architectural issue but simply a problem of
updating large databases in ways that are determined only in PHP code. The only
way of getting the change propagated is to run this code, which will always be
too slow for "instantaneous".
