Currently, the dateformat system preference isn't used when cataloguing items
with dates.

That is, if you're adding/modifying/viewing a date when cataloguing an item,
you'll see it in 'iso' format. 

This makes sense since this is the date format that is used in the database,
but staff might think that they can enter dates based on the dateformat
syspref. 

If we handle the dates based on dateformat, we get around that.

Another idea is using the datepicker so that staff don't even need to manually
enter dates. Like other parts of Koha, they could just pick the date (ideally
in accordance with the dateformat syspref - like in circulation - but this
could even work with iso format).

We've had one librarian bring it up, but I'm not sure this is something that
we're necessarily going to pursue.

I thought I would bring it up anyone though.
