I think you're generalizing to some potentially non-existant superset of
a population that may or may not read internet drafts. I'm really not
sure that's relevant.
A group in my organization (based in the uk no less) was just hosed by a
windows api that represents months using their spelling and is therefore
locale dependant, I'd rather prefer rfc-3339, somehow rather than
worrying that the report for the month of февраль din't get generated.
