I don't really know. I may even misunderstood your consideration, but  
I think that "due date" fields do validate dates using flexible rules,  
allowing users to use not only dates (in some format I can't say) but  
words like "today" and "tomorrow" too.

A little description is shown below the fields: "E.g., Is due within 2  
days of today"

Anyway, notice that even if the mini date format preference is not  
being used here, the behavior is not consistent, which may confuse  
users.
