Of course not. It just requires someone who can read a simple chart of
strftime formats. I've never worked with a designer who hasn't been able
to understand the DESCRIPTION section of, for example,
  http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?strftime+3

It wouldn't be difficult to make up a more "designer friendly" version
of it if it was really needed.
