These examples suggest D-M-Y, which only seems to work with the
calendar
set to european style. Maybe, it would be better to change the example
to M-D-Y (I think it is more common?) and add a footnote that provides
the info that the date format is depending on calendar-date-style?
The next paragraph (Anniversaries from BBDB) on the other hand
states a
fixed order.
Basically, you need to press `C-o anniversary <RET>' with the
cursor in
a BBDB record and then add the date in the format `YYYY-MM-DD',

1973-06-22
1955-08-02 wedding
2008-04-14 %s released version 6.01 of org-mode, %d years ago
So, if I understand it correctly, org-bbdb settled on iso format,
diary-anniversary uses either american or european style depending on
calendar-date-style.
Thats somehow inconsistent, isn't it?
Hi Memnon,
Org-mode consistently uses ISO format, I believe. I chose it
precisely in order
to make sure there could be no misunderstanding in what these dates
mean.
I cannot change the behavior of the calendar functions....
