Do you mean it should (in your opinion) allow for "08042011"? I do not
really see how it would be possible to automatically disambiguate this,
there are about half a dozen different interpretation producing more or
less valid dates, depending on the context.

Currently, the clients merely parse the dates provided according to the
format configured on your language.

Title:
  [6.0] date format input - smarter solution

Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenERP Web Client:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  currently if date is defined as dd.mm.yyyy the user has to enter 08.04.2011 whereas the "." (dot) might not be on the decimal pad hence slowing down the data entry
  IMHO OpenERP should allow to enter dates without the separator characters and expand it internally.
