Several European countries (like Austria or Germany) are using dot-delimited
format: dd.mm.yy or dd.mm.yyyy

That would work, too.  My reasons for preferring the dot-delimited format
are:

1:  It clearly shows that this is the new format (I am not aware of any
national date formats using the dot-delimited format - but I may be wrong).
Assuming that someone uses the "new" format with a two-digit year, the
yy-mm-dd becomes ambiguous with dd-mm-yy (Italian) and mm-dd-yy (alternative
US format).
2:  It will not (should not) evaluate as a numerical expression.

I'd be all for a worldwide standard date format - but I'd much prefer a
yyyy.mm.dd format (less chance for confusing with old formats where the
order of day and month is ambiguous, it would sort correctly even as a
string, and couldn't be mistaken for a numeric expression).  Who do we talk
to about this... :->

You're probably better off finding/developing a custom
date formatting routine for two reasons.

1. You never have to worry about the server settings.
2. If you disable session state you won't be able to rely
    on using Session.LCID

Why can't we all just settle on dd-mm-yyyy? ;)
