Description
It's been discusssed that we don't want to give authors individual control over the ordering of field-components and field-separators due to the internationalisation requirements. While this is understandable, is it potentially desirable to allow authors to override the chosen locale?
For example, I can set the html document's lang to en-GB but the date input still takes the OS/browser locale for deciding the order of the input.
Should we allow overriding this via e.g. a locale attribute or something?
I know this is probably more of a HTML discussion but figured I'd open it here to keep css-forms issues together for now.
