Yeah, that is the link that I used to backup my opinion of YYYY-MM-DD

I think it does matter in certain situations how the date is displayed.
Why not always display it in a locale neutral format then you never have
to worry about audience or anything and all your work is conistent? That
was my argument anyway. Right now we have internal applications (9 of
them) and like 4 different date formats being used. Ugh.
I still vote for YYYY-MM-DD for dates. :-)
