Yeah it does matter some of the time - generally I try to go OTT with
date displays, so that there can be no mistaking what date it is. eg.
DDD DD MMM YYYY

Ick! Someone needs to take a hand, pick one and set it down in stone as
the defacto date format. It confusing enough going from Euro dates to
US dates without mixing up the US date formats too.
> I still vote for YYYY-MM-DD for dates. :-)
heh heh. If you have to use a numeric date format, I think I would be
tempted to agree. Otherwise, dd mmm yyyy would be my euro preference.
