Allowing more than two date formats for tr:inputDate component

[aashoku <aa...@gmail.com>]

When tr:inputDate component is used to set a date, one can give convert it to
a maximum of two formats using tr:convertDateAndTime converter and using
attributes  "pattern" and "secondPattern". 

In case one requires to accept a date in any format(more than 2 formats) and
not just get restricted to two (stated above) ,how can one achieve?

Is there any other component other than  tr:inputDate to achieve such
scenario or what methodology?

Your suggestions are our beginning steps for completion of this great
task:working:

Hi,
  For <tr:convertDateTime> ,i think its better to have 2 formats such that
the user doesn't confuse on various formats 
Ex: 10/10/2008 is not recognizable from M/d/yyyy and d/MM/yyyy formats.
Such types of conflicts may rise if we provide multiple date formats.
 This is just my opinion,let me know if it wrong.
