Brock,
The setings in properties only control the formatting of dates and
times on output, not on input.
I think there are two questions:
1. Do you want a different format stored into your XML document.
2. Do you want a different format entered by the user.
In both cases, currently, the OPS XForms engine does not have
flexibility of format to enter dates. This kinds of relates to
Richard's wish for input masks. You should be able to specify an input
format for dates, and then have OPS automatically validate the user
entry according to that mask.
In the meanwhile, you will have to do this by hand, i.e. validate the
user input yourself (with an XML Schema or XPath contraint).
Note that as far as the actual data format store into the XML
document, it remains good practice to use the standard XML formats.
