Well, date formats are not going to severely hinder interoperability.

You're being as naïve as Chad there. Business processes depend on
exchanging documents containing dates in a standard format.

No need to be offensive :) If I'm wrong just show me where I'm wrong and I'll learn. Notice that I included the word *severely*. I haven't yet seen dates become a severe problem, though I can certainly see how they are a _problem_. And for that reason, I use a format that I know will be inmediately understandable by my audience. Since my audience usually comprises a mix of English speakers who can't agree whether to use MM-DD-YY or DD-MM-YY, I usually pick DD-MMM-YYYY which they all get.

Cheers,
Daniel.
