Pardon me, but I agree with earlier posts that the US standard
format is abominable:
In a text sort, you need two sort keys to sort on dates.
(otherwise, a sort program which allows you to specify what
format the sort key should use)
In 2001-2012, there will be a lot of confusion among people
with international contacts/habits.
