You can't do it with the standard date element. If you really want to
have this, you have to either overload the existing date element class
or write your date element class.

If you want to calculate dates, the numeric values will be more helpful
than text like 'Jan' -- that's the reason. The translation into a string
is very easy, e.g. if you want to display the month name somewhere.
