I've often standardized on YYYY-MM-DD as the date format for communicating within a geographically distributed project teams to dispel any ambiguity that might arise from local date formats. Is it likely that I might run into people who are used to seeing dates as YYYY-DD-MM? Are there programs that use this as a date format? ...
