The date format should be year/month/day, as in 20100209. This is the
official order used by the UN, for example.
It is also used by Mozilla products, and much other software. There is
also a gradual conversion to this format by many international
companies. And much gov't issued id (as in Québec, Canada).
Day-month-year is the traditional European format.

Sorry for doing this again, and I know that this will raise a collective
sigh from the list, but the conventional date format that most
countries/organizations have adopted today all derive from the ISO
organization's date convention. You may fine it here:
