The built-in type converter uses "uses the SHORT format for the Locale
associated with the current request" according to the type conversion docs,
so yes, you'll need to do your own if you're using a different input format.

Looking through the XWork conversion code it's hard for me to tell what it's
*actually* doing, though :/
