Subject: Date formatting?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I just checked that there is no JSTL configuration setting to apply a format 
type or pattern to <fmt:formatDate> across the whole webapp.

I need the ISO date format on 99% of dates displayed on my current app, but 
there is no way to change the default globally for <fmt:formatDate> from 
dateStyle="medium".

It seems like a prime target for a quick taglib, to avoid using the following 
everywhere, with x number of errors by sloppy coders (that would be me):

<fmt:formatDate value="myDate" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" />

Or is there something I'm missing? Somewhat off-topic I realise after checking 
the S2 taglib reference :O

Regards
Adam
