Using a German user interface of OOo 2.3.1 by Sun under Linux I can get
a format string from German number format code
=TEXT($A$1;"JJJJ-MM-TT")
as well as from English number format code
=TEXT($A$1;"YYYY-MM-DD")

Both return the same ISO date-string of a number in A1.
Can I take English format codes for granted with all locales?

Of course, the same can not work when decimal separators (comma vs. dot)
come into play.
