Probably my acceptance of DD-MM-YYYY is caused by cultural bias. The ISO YYYY-MM-DD seems what you normally do with indo-arabic numerals: put the more weighted numbers on the left, so I guess it's the most universal (in addition to being standard). -- Jorge Timón http://freico.in/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
