Well... The purpose of "short date format" is to be short; it should be
numerical only. Why can't the user just choose the right locale? :-)

BTW: If you use "%d %b %y" as date format KLocale::readDate() will not
work anymore (it does only support numerical dates for the time
beeing...) and you will not be able to enter dates in programs like kfind.
