datetime review part 2 [Update 4]

[Steve Teale]

It's difficult to find a suitable entry point in this thread, so I'll just arbitrarily use here.

Various language libraries have flexible facilities for formatting date/time values, maybe c#, and certainly PHP, whereby you can specify a format string, something like "%d'th %M %Y".

Is this a useful idea? I have some code kicking around somewhere.
