Actually, the official internationally agreed upon standard is:

YYYY-MM-DD

Leading zeros included.  That is an ANSI and ISO standard, and 
has been 
adopted by the Japanese and SA's, if I remember correctly.

Jim,
That's the ISO standard for US influence. In Europe and latin 
culture the standard is DD-MM-YYYY. You can say that your 
format is better for loggings and so on. I don't discuss this!, but 
your standard is not our standard. If LAs use YYYY-MM-DD is for 
US influence, and this is INCORRECT in languages coming from 
Latin.

Same effect with separators. Countries where the English has been 
the main language use (,) as separator, e.g. 1,000,000 and (.) for 
decimals, e.g. 10,23. But in Europe (not UK and satellites) is the 
inverse: (.) for 1.000.000 and (') for decimals 10'23.
