Please.. no ambiguous date formats. (so far I don't see any.. I'm just preempting it)
We don't need another parochial whinger complaining about competition results because they didn't realize the planet is a little bigger than Iowa.
e.g 1/2/2012 is ambiguous. In some parts of the word that's the 1st of February, in others its the 2nd of January.
I seem to be the only one so far who's used the basic ISO 8601 format.
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
For 1st Feb 2012 iso8601 format would be: 2012-02-01
for 2nd Jan 2012 iso8601 format would be: 2012-01-02

I was just about to post the same - after having counted already 11 (!) different formats in this thread to specify a day!
