This feature was discussed here before, and an interpretation was issued
for issue 8: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=258
The functionality already works in FreeBSD, for example:
$ LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y"
13 Φεβρουαρίου 2015
$ LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 date +"%OB %Y"
Φεβρουάριος 2015
It was implemented for Greek in 2001:
