OK. desrt informs me that we can get what "%x" means by calling nl_langinfo (D_FMT). But that would still only give us field names. We'd still have to write a parser to cover a lot of various cases.

And apparently some of the characters might be translated when we display in locale format. So we'd have to parse hindi numbers too. (needs confirmation)

This might not be worth the effort to get right. I'm personally advocating reverting the commit and using ISO 8601 dates.
