Steps to reproduce:
I visited a test page I made <html lang="en-US"><body><input type="date"/></body></html>.
I just downloaded a fresh copy of en-US Developer Edition. I had environment variables LANG=en_US.UTF-8 & LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 & LANGUAGE=en_US:en, and config setting intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales = true & intl.accept_languages = en-us,en,th , .
Actual results:
The input had a visual date formatting of dd/mm/yyyy, but still had the correct value.
Expected results:
Considering the LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 and intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, I expected to see the format of yyyy-mm-dd respecting my OS settings. Alternatively and although not desired, considering the language version downloaded, the language attribute on the page, intl.accept_languages, and the LANG/LANGUAGE env vars, I expected mm/dd/yyyy.
People often seem confused by the month vs day thing, I too, expected it to at least follow one of these lines of logic for the default format; there's nothing in my scenario suggesting I wanted the dd/mm/yyyy format.
When I tried Firefox with intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales = false I got the same results.
