Also, if you call $xwiki.formatDate(date) without the format parameter, it will format the date according to a global xwiki preference called "dateformat".   The parameter is not there by default, so you'll need to add it to the xwiki preferences class and set the value in the object.  We've done that, and changed nearly every place the date is displayed to use it.

Not really. I've checked and it's currently hardcoded in footer.vm.  
So your solutions right now are:

1) Use a custom skin that extends albatross and specify your footer  
in the footer field
2) Modify the footer.vm file.

Solution 1 sounds the best to me as it allows easy upgrade to newer  
versions of XWiki more easily.
