Comment (by demetris):

 I don’t understand the reference to context.  Let me explain.  I may
 prefer the above format for my *human eyes* -- that is:

 5 Nov(ember) 2008

 but I may use ISO9601 for dir and file names, for machine sorting:

 2008-11-05

 Where does “Nov 5, 2008” fit into this contextualization?  The reason I
 set a custom format in the first place is that I’m not American and the
 order in the American format confuses me. -- I need to process it every
 time I see it.  I don’t get in instantly.

 Since WP lets me select a custom date format for my *human eyes*, I expect
 this format to be used everywhere.  Now it’s one format here, another
 format there, probably a third format somewhere else (because my theme
 does not honour my setting)... There should be some consistency!  Should I
 make an en_MY-DATE-FΟRMAT localization, just to have some consistency in
 dates? :-)

 I’m not saying this is a critical issue to be fixed ASAP, but I don’t
 think it’s invalid either.  I think it should be looked into at some
 point.
