IMHO parsing should be done in a relaxed way.

So eg d.m.y, d-m-y and d/m/y should be accepted (with or without leading
zeros, year may be in 2 or 4 digits).

When the US format is enabled it will be of course m.d.y.

Ideally the parser would accept a "reversed" date if it makes sense. Eg
when I have US format and enter 28.4.2009 it will still accept it
assuming that I have swapped day and month.

What always should be accepted is this format: Y-m-d (also with / and .)
as a 4 digit year at the beginning is easily distinguished from other
formats.

What's missing is a $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['dateSeparator'] setting for
the output. And maybe a way to put the time *after* the date in datetime
fields.
