The problem with those is that there are either too few or too many "standards" and so unless you show a format string with every input box it can be VERY confusing and frustrating to figure out how to type in a date and/or time. We also need to keep in the mind that the popup window for date selection would need to have something passed into it so it knows how to format the date/time string based on the selection. > > So yeah, in general I'm a big fan of using the descending format everywhere, > even consumer/public facing applications (at least as a default, there are certainly tools to support other formats as needed for custom UIs). > > -David >
