The one thing that should absolutely be turned off is day/month swapping on dates of the form: 2003-02-22.
Agreed on that. YYYY-DD-MM isn't used in the real world AFAIK, and it's reasonable to treat it as an error.
I've seen little actual defense of the current behaviour,
Other than me, I think you mean. dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy are inherently ambiguous in the real world, and when you can clearly determine what the intended meaning is, I think it's more reasonable to assume the datestyle isn't set correctly than to reject the data.
