Actually,, ISO8601 describes the valid (& preferred) date
representations. Anything with dashes is presumed to be YYYY-MM-DD. Of
course, just because this is an international standard, doesn't mean
that everyone (including governments) follows it. This includes the US
FAA. which presumes MM-DD-YY.
So much for standards! I guess ISO8601 is pretty new (35 years ago) for
some organizations!

Another more involved fix would be to make the date parser a bit more liberal
about delimiters and formats; the only slightly minor difficulty is ordering
ambiguous sequences: for example 21-10-23 could be 21 October 2023 or 23
October 2021 and 5/7/9 could be the 9 July 2005, 7 May 2009, or 5 July 2009.
