Agreed.

It does. :) At least for me. :)

Are you sure you're looking at NSDateFormatString and not
NSTimeDateFormatString? The former should never have time info in it,
which it seems to for you.
In sys prefs, in the long date section, I just changed all the ', ' to '*
' and NSDateFormatString gives me the right string, ie no more commas,
but asterisks instead.
