Yes, with a pattern restriction on a string.

On a machine-readable format I'd advise using the International standard (which is also your national standard ANSI X3.30) as it is expected, widely supported and well known.

If it's intended to be displayed to a human directly rather than processed by the consuming machine, the a local convetion is fine, though it's important to be clear that it's being used.

Yes it is possible with an regex

<xsd:simpleType name="Date">
   <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
     <xsd:pattern value="\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4}"/>
   </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

Left is of course that the range should be checked also. Maybe you can extend the regex to only accept certain numbers.
