   The "." vs "/" makes no difference to me. Albiet, I am partial

   When I worked in industry where the client was primarily the     
   military, the spec documents and other correspondences used     
   what I call the odemeter arrangement for the date:   
      
    yyyy mm dd, or  yyyymmdd   
      
   That made the most sense for me. It was super easy to sort     
   files and instantly see the proper order of things.
