There's actually -- surprise -- an ISO standard on date and time formats
(although I don't know what the number of that standard is). It says that
dates should be written like yyyy-mm-dd or yy-mm-dd, with yyyy-mm-dd being
the preferred format. A full date-and-time specification is, according
to the standard, written like yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
