Summary

The date display format used in Issues Tracker (e.g. Date Submitted, Last Update) is ambiguous. Date/times are displayed in the form "MM-DD-YY hh:mm" - so a date like "05-06-07" has (at least) three possible interpretations depending on the cultural background and locale of the reader.

I suggest we adopt the ISO 8601 international standard notation for the date part (YYYY-MM-DD), consistent with W3C & FpML; failing that, an unambiguous format (e.g. DD-MMM-YYYY)

Best regards, Harry
