The tooltip of the timestamp shows a ISO8601 formatted date

The tooltip of the timestamp shows a ISO8601 formatted date.
It would be better if the date in the tooltip is show in the formatting that is selected by the viewer of the wiki page.
Also see the timeline links in the Trac Ticket system. Those tooltips are showing the date in the tooltip in the format that is selected by the viewer of the ticket.

When the date formatting is modified in the preferences, the timeline tooltips are adjusted accoordingly.

I investigated the possibility to pass another formatted date to the timelink TracLink. That is however not possible as the timeline TracLink is always expecting a ISO8601 date as the argument.

There is however a TimelineModule::get_timeline_link() function in the Trac code, that allows to specify an additional Title in the created link. I expect that the Trac Ticket system using that function to create the timeline link in the tickets.

That same function is also generating the tooltip that is shown for the timeline link, however it is always using the ISO8601 date in the tooltip, while it should be using the user selected date formatting.

Probably it is better to mention this as a problem in the Trac code, and patch it.
