Yes and Yes.  When  we get 0.60 out the door, I'll make 

"As of version 0.60, the default datetime->string conversion is controlled
by the locale.conf file. See the User Guide for details."  

the first sentence in the answer.  Similarly, I'll re-word the date range
answer then, too.  

To me, this is a clear example of how the FAQ is an index into the UG.  The
FAQ answer can outline the situation, and point to detailed instructions in
the Guide.
