Issue: getting the utility functions parseDate and formatdate functions to do the work.

I am wondering if I can get the widget to work with momentJs formats via the parse and format functions or if I have to write an elaborate mapper function to reconcile them.

From reading the api docs, it appears that jquery expects only dates and formats that it understands internally

If so, I can't be the first, but I have been able to find only one example which was too highly specialized to be usable. Loking for a recommendation.
