For international mailing lists, if you stick with ISO 8601, there should
be no ambiguity in the date:
2011-04-01 or 20110401 is defined as April 1, 2011, or truncated as
11-04-01 or 110401.
Standards. Who would have thought?
Precisely. I'm in the US, but I always write dates like that.
"The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.

Who would have thought that there was only one in common use for date
and time (even IETF bases date/time on an ISO8601 profile).
