Summary: The use of the NSDateFormatterShortStyle in a date formatter with the locale set to @"en-AU", Australia English, results in a date format that for August 7th 2015 would be "7/08/2015". Why is there a leading zero on the month? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a date that has a single digit day, and a single digit month. 2. Setup a formatter to use the NSDateFormatterShortStyle. 3. Set the locale for the formatter to @"en-AU". 4. Convert the date to a string using stringFromDate:. Expected Results: I would expect at the least to see "7/8/2015", or possibly even "7/8/15". The US version (en-US) shows "8/7/15". Actual Results: The result is "7/08/2015". Version: iOS 9.0 [13A4305g] Notes: This date format appears to be incorrect according to my Australian teammates. A project built specifically to showcase this issue is attached. Built with Xcode 7 beta 4. Configuration: All simulator versions in iOS9, as well as an iPhone 5 using iOS9. Other phones are affected. Attachments: 'DateLocaleTester.zip' was successfully uploaded. See the test app at https://github.com/Thunor/DateLocaleTester
