for me it happens all the time as entering the date and loose focus the 
page is reloaded. That makes it really hard to enter what you want.
Sure, you come to a result if you enter everything very disiplined, but 
its far from any other input in other mods and far from usability.

this is taken from tceforms where the format is done the same manner. As 
long as the jsvalidation of tceforms only knows 2 kind of formats we 
have to stick to that. We should change that in 4.4 and provide an API, 
but that's another issue.
