Your suggestion is against rules of Polish ortography.

Abbreviations of normal, single words have such rules:
1. If an abbreviation doesn't contain the last letter of an abbreviated word, 
it should end with dot.
 Examples:
  godz. - godzina
  tel. - telefon
  pn. - poniedzialek

2. If an abbreviation contains the last letter of an abbreviated word, it 
should not end with dot.
 Examples:
  nr - numer
  dr - doktor
  mgr - magister

3. Abbreviations must not contain "i" when it is only softening.
 Example:
  kwiecien - abbreviation should be "kw."

4. Abbreviations should not divide letters indicating only one sound, e. 
g. "rz" means English "zh", cz means English "ch" etc.

Valid abbreviations of months would be:
st.
lut.
marz.
kw.
maj
cz.
lip.
srp.
wrz.
paź.
lis.
gr.

But of course these abbreviations aren't used, so the best solution is to 
either use arabic numerals or ISO 8601.

Remember, that some use of incorrect abbreviations like "sty" doesn't justify 
introducing them to Polish GLibC locale.
