Sure, the "DATETIME_FORMAT" literal is what we call a technical
message: A clever idea to give translators a way to determine
a few local-dependant info bits (usually date/time output formatting)

(last item in the list).
If I understand things correctly, if/when Marc's GSoC work on this
front gets merged, in 1.2 this will be replaced by similar but
more explicit ways to specify the same info.
