Quoting "James K. Lowden" <jklowden schemamania org>:
Please, no! It's bad enough unixheads 35 years ago decided to tack on the
year after the time (mustn't disturb precedent), and that every country
has at least one way to format the date. Let's not invent something when
there's so much to choose from!
The international standard ISO 8601 recommends: 2004-07-22 (try
'date -I' or 'date --iso-8601'). It's also "mathematically correct" :-)
Cheers, WB
