What approach are you talking about?
This patch only adds a new function to parse the European date format. When or how to use this new function is another question that is not asked or answered by this patch.

Maybe a typo error in the Regex expression:
re: /(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2}).(\d{4})/ --> re: /(\d{1,2}).(\d{1,2}).(\d{4})/
One extra \ character ?

I think that the patch is not the right approach. As I understand DD/MM/YYYY will be used only when american format cannot be used. It'll be difficult for applications users to realize that 12/01/2008 is first of december, but 13/01/2008 is 13th of January.
I propose to use a i18n setting (stored in django(js).po) so parse the date according to current locale. ISO format could be used in all cases as fall back format.
