Use international date format (ISO) - Quality Web Tips

Hmmm, I might have used this on a recent project at work. Instead, given the company's heavy US bias I opted to use a different format with an abbreviation for the month to eliminate the ambiguity about which number stands for day and which for month. The format I chose was "6 Sep 2005" which at least has a logical progression from most specific to least specific, even if it is reversed from the ISO recommendation.
