Support non Gregorian calendar formats across Dreamwidth

Title:
Support non Gregorian calendar formats across Dreamwidth

Area:
Posting, commenting, profile dates

Summary:
Some users may want to see date formats displayed in calendar formats other than the Gregorian Calendar

Description:
This isn't really one I actually want myself, but I can see the utility of it for other users who are more used to, or use in tandem, calendar formats other than the Gregorian Calendar - e.g. Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, Japanese, Coptic.


Code already exists in both Perl and PHP for converting between different calendar formats, so the conversion probably won't be problem so much as its implementation throughout the code.


I suppose the main issue is how much demand there would be for this functionality from the userbase.
