--- Comment #10 from Michael Chudobiak <mjc at avtechpulse dot com> ---
The ISO short date format (%Y-%m-%d) is widely used in Canada.
It is on bank cheques, passports, driver licenses, and MS Windows.
It is specified by the Canadian Standards Association.
The existing d_fmt is ambiguous, confusing, and subject to misinterpretation.
It is also different from the French Canadian locale. I do not think that the
ISO date code is uncomfortable for anyone in Canada.
fr_CA uses the ISO code:
d_fmt "<U0025><U0059><U002D><U0025><U006D><U002D><U0025><U0064>"
Please make d_fmt ISO-compliant, same as fr_CA.
The time codes are a different matter, common usage is different than the ISO
spec.
