[Validator] Option to specify the format for validating dates?

[simondeeley]

Currently, the Validator component's "Date" (link) validator only validates inputs with the format Y-m-d. Whilst this is perfectly fine for general international use, I am finding that client-side a lot of dates are inputted in locale-specific formats, e.g. d-m-Y.

Is there enough interest to add the option to specify the date format? Or, going one-stage further, add the ability to specify an array of valid date formats?

No - I think the date validator should stay international and rely on client-side formatting

Y-m-d is considered international format? Any spec reference?

Thanks for your thoughts 👍🏻
Just posing the question though that if international formatting wasn't an option, should the validator constraint allow devs the option to override/customise the formatting, e.g. d-m-Y, for example?
