Is that set in stone? Most non-english application developers are 
probably more familiar with the strftime syntax, as we tend to use that 
function 90 % of the time.

Personally I also find that syntax more appealing:

echo date('\T\o\d\a\y \i\t \i\s l \a\n\d \t\h\e \c\l\o\c\k \i\s H:i');

echo strftime('Today it is %a and the clock is %H:%M');

Who, btw, prefers date-syntax to not having this function at all...
