 * My site language is English UK and I have bespoke date formats set in Settings/
   General.
 * However, the Start and End date fields in EHUB are shown in US format MM/DD/YYYY
   rather than UK format DD/MM/YYYY both on the Summary page and on the Edit page.
 * I realise that you cannot support bespoke formats, but any chance for a fix so
   that it follows some sort of locale-based format?

 * P.S. It is a minor annoyance for me, but I am trying to delegate entering EHUB
   posts to someone else, and so this needs to be as user friendly as possible.

 * I created Easy Heads Up Bar for a project years ago and popped up here to give
   back to the WP community.
 * As a South African I understand why you would want a locale-based format for 
   the dates, but I have limited time to maintain my public plugins. I feel that
   the date picker’s pop up clarifies the day month question. While it seems like
   small fix I see it as a slippery slope.
 * My apologies here 🙂
