What's wrong with 10/11/12 ?

I am not sure i understand your email/problem.
As far as i read this email your concern is:
* localized dates use the locale date format
* locale date format is "wrong".
So the two options are:
a) User changes their locale
b) Apps don't use localized dates and use a custom format.
Am I understanding your email correctly?
Cheers,
Albert
