> SLING-6399 introduced possibilities to format dates as mandated by the spec: https://github.com/adobe/htl-spec/blob/1.3/SPECIFICATION.md#122-format.
> The problem is that date patterns patterns in general (even if a locale is passed) differ a lot between countries and languages. For that reason Java defines some [standard formats |https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/dateFormat.html] which work for all languages/countries. The special strings "DEFAULT", "SHORT", "MEDIUM", "LONG", and "FULL" should be accepted as values which should lead to using https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#getDateInstance-int-java.util.Locale- as formatter. They are also defined by Unicode CLDR: http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time-1/date-time-patterns#TOC-Basic-Date-Formats
