I'm writing a module to handle international date validation and I am
looking to see just how many date formats their are. I currently have

dd-mm-yy     dutch
yy-mm-dd     swedish
dd.mm.yy      german
dd/mm/yy      european (english french)
yy-dd-mm     polish
yy.mm.dd      japanese
yyyy-mm-dd  ISO

Anyone know of any other common formats (or corrections to these if they
are wrong)? I've also seen two different formats for dates in Australia,
do they use dd/mm/yy there?

Finally, does anyone know if language standard delimiters (the period in the
German example) are required? By that I mean that Canadian and us dates tend
to be written using dashes, slashes and periods...is this the same for
places like Holland, Germany and Poland as well?

TIA
