The DD-MM-YYYY format is only used in North America IIUC.  Even in
that region the military conforms to international usage.

The big advantage of YYYY-MM-DD is that it eliminates this confusion.
North American civilians keep their MM-DD order and the rest of us
keep a logical progression of units.
