Current behavior
When using locale 'de-DE':

{{myDate | date: 'short'}} returns day and month numbers < 10 without a leading 0
Example 23.3.2017 13:25

Expected behavior
Format should be 23.03.2017 13:25
Same leading 0 for the day as for the month.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
Set locale to 'de-DE' and output any date in short format.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Correct date formating :-)

Looks like the material 2 datepicker uses the short date too. I can simply pass a custom format in to the pipe, but not into the date picker - as far as their docs say.
I need to deploy a customer demo in a few days. Is there any way to override the short date format globally until this is fixed? This would help me much for the moment.

Hello, with the PR to replace the intl API for angular v5 (see #10809) the "short" date format for the locale de will be dd.MM.yy, HH:mm, which means that you will get 23.03.17, 13:25.

I'm not sure if the material 2 datepicker uses the angular date pipe or its own date formatting though.
But since the date formats will be available externally as well, I'm sure that the material team will use them instead of the intl api (if that's what they use right now).
