The author should simply stick to ISO 8601; YYYY-MM-DD.

That would be nice, but ‘%x’ — date(1): locale's date representation — is also acceptable.

Now it is YYYY-MM-DD.

Ok, will improve this.

Now the date format is: MMM DD, YYYY

I'm sorry, but that's not much better than the original. Can't it be made configurable? Or at least follow the locale?
