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.
