--- Comment #4 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
All used date formats are defined in our tr-TR locale data, ie.
i18npool/source/localedata/data/tr_TR.xml (or
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/localedata/data/tr_TR.xml
for browsers). If that needs changes then patches are welcome. Note that there
is some documentation in i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd (or
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd
fwiw) about specific formats that need to be present.

It's not clear to me how ISO 8601 comes into play here (every locale also
supports ISO 8601 date formats, regardless of any localized ones), but some
public information about that can be found under
http://erack.de/bookmarks/D.html#ISO_8601_Date___Time_Representation

Formats like
31-12
31-12-99
31-12-1999
may be problematic if input is expected to be parsed in that format (ie. with
date acceptance patterns D-M and D-M-Y), which may not properly work because of
the ambiguity with ISO 8601 M-D and Y-M-D for days <= 12 and years <= 31
