title: DateFormat discrepancy
body: <p>We're trying to format dates according to the browser locale.
  However, we're getting a different output when we pass "en_GB" to initialize a <code>Locale</code> reference and pass it to a <code>DateFormat</code>, as against using the "pure" <code>Locale</code> reference from the <code>request</code>.</p>
  
  <p>In the former case, the output is: 6/20/13, while in the latter the (correct) output is: 20/06/13.</p>
  
  <p>What could the reason for this discrepancy?</p>
