If you want the user to enter it then you are right.  However, if it's just
a display issue then strftime() should handle it nicely, right (as you've
already done with your {(timefmt ...)} MX)?  Storing in unix time gives much
greater flexibility and reliability than any other format...

I haven't tried it, but strtotime() looks like it might be able to handle
it...?
