ISO8601 is great and all, but even without a common standard, I feel it should either be largest to smallest unit, or smallest to largest. YMD or DMY. Anything else is just asking for misunderstandings.
Well that throws out DD-MM-YYYY because it's second smallest, smallest, fourth smallest, third smallest....
