Personally, as a gnucash user in the UK, I'd much rather *not* have zero padding on data entry or data display of UK date formats.

There is no UK consensus on whether 04/02/06 is preferable to 4/2/6 or 4/2/06. It's a "problem" of the 21st century where single digit years can cause confusion. In my business life, all three of the above are perfectly acceptable, whether on casual notes or official documents.
I agree with Neil, also as a UK gnucash user, that I would prefer not to have zero padding, except possibly in the year part of the date, which would normally be padded to two digits (at present).

I feel we should look at this as a possible config option and bounce the idea around on gnucash-user before assuming that zero padding is the "Right Thing To Do".
Agreed.
