I'd really love it if there were a way to format the date as an ordinal number - I'd expect something like:

 *   * 'ddd': Day in month, ordinal number (1st, 2nd - 31st)

there are several things that need to happen for this to be possible:

• Google closure does not have the plural rules for ordinal numbers, this can be worked around by going to the CLDR
• The json CLDR does not have the RBNF for ordinal numbers, this is present in the xml version, but adds another level of complexity
• The rules that should be followed can be quite complex depending on the language http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-37/tr35-numbers.html#Rule-Based_Number_Formatting

The number of times a character is used, follows a meaning (even when sometimes this can be quite confusing) http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Field_Symbol_Table The sequence 'ddd' is not used, but following the logic, then another letter should be picked
