Q. How to format the dates to be in line with the Accessibility guidelines?

A. Write the day as a number and the month in letters - e.g. 12 May. In the metadata files, especially the concept 2. Metadata update is affected. If possible write the dates instead of 18/12/2012 - replace with 18 December 2012.
