Why not kick around the idea of a date formatting command, so that you
'neers can make dates however you would like, and we meers can format and
manipulate them however we'd like?
(I am an ISO Menshevik. That format seems to me to be the most "neighborly"
and transportable, and I think kicking around that notion is a good thing.)
Potential Experiment...
I've been surprised at how fast calling PHP via 'do shell' is compared to
osax calls. My own tests have led me to use PHP for tasks like 'basename()'
and 'filename()' because it's just faster than AS-only versions of the same.
I wonder if PHP's date functions (and formatting options) might be a useful
alternative to purely AS date handling? (I am not familiar with PHP's
localization options, so this may not address the exact issue of the
thread.)
