Amen. ISO 8601 FTW.
The Japanese got it correct natively though. It's year, then
month then day, seperated either by explicit 年月日 (year, month,
day), or by "/" or "-". At university, we mostly used "-".
Well, that's when they don't use their imperial dates :/

Always causes confusion, thus leading people to actually figure
out the numbers. :) Of course programmers don't have an issue
with it. Sadly, it can't be shortened:
13-10-14 or 10-14
I'm also ok with 2013/10/14 even though ISO isn't.
It minimum, I try to keep it to "YYYY.*MM.*DD".
Also, when naming files, it sorts automatically, which is always
good. That's how I name my photos anyways: format("%04-%02 -
LOCATION_OR_EVENT - %03", year, month, ++counter).
