I expect it would.  It would still look like a typo to some.

I didn't know this until today, but there's an ISO standard
that defines both notations as correct.  It was superseded
in 2009 by a standard that (AFAIK) may have rejected […[
and settled on the more common […).  But I don't have
$150 handy to spend on the ISO doc to make sure.

(Full disclosure:  I think I was the one that wrote those
format strings.  I didn't rely on any ISO standard.)
