Marking dates with <date> (or something) wouldn't be bad, IMHO.
Something like <date>2006-09-14</date> would be fine. Displayed as "14 September, 2006" on en "14. September 2006" on de with selectable overrides per logged-in user.
I've added this to http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4582
I wonder if this <date> tag could be implemented as an extension...
That would be easy and done before breakfast, if I wasnt currently on holiday...
Cool! So at least it wouldn't be complicated to do - I'm looking forward to the end of your holiday ;-)
I was mostly concerned about the dependency on the "default wiki date display format setting" (I assume this is already configurable somewhere) with all the myriads of date display formats, and the "user preferences" part of a possible implementation.
Maybe I will give it a try as first MediaWiki hacking learning experience for a dumb client app programmer like I am (C++, Windows). Although, I doubt the quality of my concoction would be acceptable for a installation like Wikipedia ;-)
