Ability to override Oracle set NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE default value of NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE

Organization Name
Rutgers, The State University Of New Jersey
Description
To conform to I18N standards, Oracle has recently made changes to the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE. This means that where ever to_char function is used on the date field for reformatting, it will be required to include NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE.
Can Oracle provide a way for the ERP clients to override Oracle set NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE default value of NUMERIC_DATE_LANGUAGE to something else as a default (e.g. AMERICAN)? A possible place where this could be made available is in BI Runtime Configuration - Properties.
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN') from dual
