[Zope-CMF] DateTime support for Norwegian dateformat? (offtopic)

[jkpikifi]

Sorry this is offtopic, but here goes anyway:

My proposed fix for this was that when '.' is the delimiter, the
default order would be dd.mm.yyyy but when '/' is the delimiter, the
order would be mm/dd/yyyy.  Someone more familiar with global date
formats perhaps can tell whether this is a sensible approach - or is
there a habit of using mm.dd somewhere on the globe?  An older format
(not that much used anymore) for dates in Finland is dd/m but many
places with more people I think use m/dd, so defaulting to m/dd seems
like a reasonable thing.

I think I submitted the code to the bug collector for this change.
