Perhaps most other revision control systems have gotten this wrong, but I can't agree that 2006-01-09 is culturally alien to most people; rather, I think most people want either 01/09/2006 or 09/01/2006 and think that the one they prefer is natural. But I think everybody agrees that 2006-01-09 is sometime about now, while they would disagree whether the oddball formats are around now or in September. Hmm. The other revision control system I have most convenient to hand (RCS) seems to call this 2006/01/09, so even though it's not using the ISO-8601 / RFC 3339 standard separator, it at least gets the order right. -Bennett
