Incredible discussion so far notwithstanding, I have long since given up trying 
to coach people using any form of numeric date representations and now just use 
RFC 5322 format for everything (even when doing so is inconveniently verbose 
sometimes).  It probably isn't suitable for an international audience for whom 
the non-use or partial-use of English is a genuine concern, but it by far beats 
trying to unify the great divide among for instance British and American 
notations.  I am an email junky anyway.  Otherwise, of course the yyyy-mm-dd 
makes the most sense, especially in scripts or directory listings.
