HI,

> What is the scenario where everybody will need this code?

If they want to use a date formatter and not have dates displayed as =
=E2=80=9CYYYY-MM-DD=E2=80=9D.

Before these changes dates would be formatted as US style dates by =
default and if you added a different date format bead it would still =
incorrectly display in US date format. Middle endian / US style dates =
should not be the default as they are only used by about 5-10% of the =
world=E2=80=99s population. If you prefer I can change the default to =
"DD/MM/YYYY=E2=80=9D rather than YYYY-MM-DD format  (ISO 8601).

Basically code like this would still display US style dates.
<js:DateField>
    <js:beads>
        <accessories:DateFormatDDMMYYYYBead />
    </js:beads>
</js:DateField>

Reason being that it was just finding the first IFormatBead which was =
defined in the CSS, any other IFormatBead bead the user added would be =
ignored.

Thanks,
Justin=
