[Bug localedata/773] de_DE locale should use ISO date format according to national standards


------- Additional Comments From julian at mehnle dot net  2005-11-05 12:06 -------
Sorry to persist, but what's a "colloquial format"?  (Yes, I know what the words 
mean.)  IOW, I don't think the locales are supposed to reflect colloquial 
formats.  They are supposed to reflect _official_, standardized formats.  The 
official, standardized German date format has been the ISO format ever since 
1996.  The fact that, out of inertia and/or ignorance, only few people are 
actually using it, doesn't change that.
