This is not a direct answer to your question, but I posted a similar
note last summer, and got the following mail reply from Microsoft:

We will have more flexibility in the format of dates in MacWord
Version 4, but it will still be a small set (3) of precooked
formats: those which are available from the System.

I hope to expand this set in Version 5, but we have a lot of other
stuff to put in as well.
