So, I have a DateField in my model and have also set I18N & L10N to `True`
in settings. When a browser running `en-AU` locale visits the website,
Django tries to parse the value read from model, using the first value in
`DATE_INPUT_FORMATS` from /conf.
The bug is when a user in `en-AU` locale visits the website, Django reads
the Datefield value from model and tries to localize it for `en-AU` locale
(from `DATE_INPUT_FORMATS` in /conf/en_AU) to this format `'%d/%m/%Y'`,
but html5 requires the `value` for `<input type="date">` to be explicitly
in this format: yyyy-MM-dd. [ref](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date) [ref2](https://developer.mozilla.org
/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Date_and_time_formats#Format_of_a_valid_date_string).
This causes an error in chrome dev console and the HTML date field
rendered without the date read from the model.[[Image(https://user-

**This bug goes away when I disable L10N in settings. I am able to
reproduce this bug in `en-AU` and `en-GB`**
