*Pedia 4.5.3: Entering dates doesn't match Date Format

If you set Date Format set to "%b %d %Y" (Month/Day/Year - American standard), *pedia still requires numeric dates be entered as "%d/%b/%Y" (Day/Month/Year). If it's too much work to explicitly match Date Format, at least have a preference that allows the user to enter dates as Month/Day/Year.

We used to match the date order from the set format, but with the new OS X Leopard and above it's no longer possible. The format is determined by OS X from your settings in System Preferences -> International -> Formats.

In that case, there's clearly something buggy. I have System Preferences -> International -> Formats set to United States. If I do an Add CD Manually in CDpedia, go to the Release or Original Release fields, and type "1/5/09", then Tab, CDpedia fills in "May 01 2009" rather than the expected "Jan 05 2009".
