Date format is inconsistent and wrong in some views like Week View.
Example: on the row above the Day it displays
4/9    4/10    4/11   and so on...
Mon     Tue   Wed    and so on...
But the date format is set to (in my case) short format as "2007-04-09"
and then, the "super-short" format should be 04-09, if used at all. The use of a slash (/) is an odd use which creates great mistakes between days and months and the interpretation I make is the opposite of the intended one (4th of November, which obviously is wrong here...).
To resolve: Either consistent with the date format specified, or a possibility to specify this super short format, which actually are written in quite a lot of different ways around the globe

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Sunbird 
2. open Week View. Toggle between date formats (long, short)
3. note the date indicator above the name of the week day
Actual Results:  
The date written is not in accordance with the specified date format
Example: on the row above the Day it displays
4/9    4/10    4/11   and so on...
Mon     Tue   Wed    and so on...
But the date format is set to (in my case) short format as "2007-04-09"
and then, the "super-short" format should be 04-09, if used at all.

Same result for both date formats (long/short)

Expected Results:  
The expected result should be (for short format, which in my case is YYYY-MM-DD), with year omitted:
04-09        04-10       04-11
Mon          Tue          Wed

OR (if using long format, which in my case is day-month-year, with day numeric, month in text, and year in numeric:

9 April   10 April   11 April   and so on
Mon       Tue        Wed        and so on

NOTE: Year can be omitted to save space but should appear somewhere on the heading. It is rather easy to get totally out of control and set appointments the wrong year without noticing that.

The present non-editable date format creates a lot of confusion and should be easy to fix
