The proposed fix is a bad idea. It relies on undocumented .toLocaleDateString() behavior. Comments on that post claim it doesn't work, which is what I would expect. From the ECMAScript 5 standard:

15.9.5.6 Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString ( )
This function returns a String value. The contents of the String are implementation-dependent, but are
intended to represent the ―date‖ portion of the Date in the current time zone in a convenient, human-readable
form that corresponds to the conventions of the host environment‘s current locale.
NOTE The first parameter to this function is likely to be used in a future version of this standard; it is recommended
that implementations do not use this parameter position for anything else.

I can't find a good fix for this and would be open to ideas. For now, the best solution is to use dateITA in additional-methods.js.

As for other tickets, Date validation is broken. For now, as suggested above, use locale specific custom methods. Eventually #581 will resolve this.
