Yes, that should be possible since [1] is resolved (~6 months).

If you know that you always have sons.0 and sons.1 I don't think that 
the hack is too bad, but you could also send the date format 
configuration from the Fluid form by adding a hidden field with the name 
"dateFormat" (have a look at the DatePickerViewHelper provided by the 
Form framework [2]).
