Morten Welinder said in the upstream bug report:
The format, apart from using slashes instead of dashes, is the ISO
format. It is *not* a European format -- that would be d/m/yyyy or
something like it, depending on where in Europe.
More importantly, the format used is just about the only format that
will be understood world-wide. I think creating files that will not
be misinterpreted is very important.
If you want the on-screen version -- which obviously can discard information
that the current format does not display -- then use the configurable
formatter, i.e., select "Save-As" with file type "Text export (configurable)"
and select format "Preserve".
