Date().toDateString()

Thanks @Robin,

this exactly what helps to make this a great locale app.

Finally, either Thu or Thr of these are commonly acceptable
may a four character month be allowed?

I like to followed en_US definition which is standard and keep it like that.

The goal is to find an internal definition set to have a standard and short form for date including time, so something like this mapping would work. At the moment it is a mix of Javascript and Unix.
