From the submitter:
DIN 5008 (German norm for text processing) defines the old date
format (%d.%m.%Y) to be obsolete and to be used only, if unambigous.
In international communications the new format (%Y-%m-%d) is now
required and FreeBSD should respect this.

Thanks to Oliver Lietz for bringing this to my attention.

MFC after: 1 week
"month names" -> "months names"
typo
"Long months names (alternative)" or "in alternative form" ->
"(without case ending)"
"Long months names" -> "Long months names (as in a date)"
to not confuse developers on what purpose those sections are
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
