Agreed. Done. > Works wonderfully for English, sorry I forgot the more general case. > The default time string format has a day name included.

There's `org-html--timestamp-format', which is used for all timestamps in preamble, postamble and metadata. It's clearly an internal variable. I don't know if it is used because the format is required or because it saves copying over the same format string. Since I don't know the intent behind this, I can't tell if it could be made a defcustom. > By the way, is it normal that org-html-postamble-format and > org-html-creator-string are not loaded before an html export is > triggered? Yes, by default, the export framework is not loaded at startup (as specified in `org-export-backends'). You can use `eval-after-load' or simply (require 'ox-html) if needed.
