I think "March8/2010" should fail as well ;-)
Seriously, should "monthname/daynumber/yearnumber" in en-US locale be
a valid date input string?
Compare with German de-DE "daynumber.monthname.yearnumber", I think no
one expects that to be valid. Valid would be
"daynumber. monthname yearnumber". In en-US that would be
"monthname daynumber, yearnumber"

This is about locale dependent program logic, I think it's the
developers' job. However, for locale specific topics there's the
d...@l10n.openoffice.org mailing list.
