RE: HTML has, probably, confusing date format

Dear Cyril

Some here may not but I find your posts amusing, but I do (I hope they
are meant to be).

It is in SQL. Although its not identical the ANSI/ISO SQL-92 datetime type
is in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. I believe this predates SQL-92 but
I'm only young so I couldn't swear by it. Anyway all relational databases
that I have encountered agree on this format and it makes a heap of sense to
me.

Cheers
