Description
The Date macro ignores the "date format" set in the UserPreferences. The DateTime macro correctly changes to match the format, but Dates do not. See http://www.brooksby.org/moin/FirstBrooksbyFamilyReunion for an example. The dates always appear as YYYY-MM-DD regardless of the preferences.
Steps to reproduce
- Make a page with a Date macro on it.
Try to change the way it is displayed by altering your UserPreferences page.
Example

1979-08-18 1979-08-18 00:00:00

Discussion
Strictly taken, this is not a bug, but a missing feature.
UserPreferences let you only choose your datetime_fmt. Not your date_fmt.
