This behaviour is controlled in the language files. For English, we prefer
mm.dd.yyyy over dd.mm.yyyy. I understand that this is the preference in the US.

I see that somehow it would be nicer to take into account that "." is used as a
separator here (which indicates that it is not a US date), but SMW ignores the
nature of the separators when interpreting the date. It just sees "1 2 3" and
needs to decide if which date is meant.

A quick fix could be to create an EN-gb locale that has a different default.
This does not require new date processing mechanisms, just a new file. Would
that solve the problem?
