i fully agree.
lets use yyyy-mm-dd
its totally clear to use it since it gives the slowest changing number
first and the fastest changing last (especially when adding a time (in
UTC of course ;) ) AND it also gets sorted correctly by machines.
ps:
please do not get me started about how chinese do count years (its '97
now, you know?) or how germans do it ('/' instead of '-' and starting
from the other end) ;)
kind regards
