RE: Unambiguous dates (was: American English to British English)

["Steve Hudson" <steve -at- wright -dot- com -dot- au>]

Was I the only one here who had to work endless overtime hours on a
last-minute Y2K project because some drip many years ago really really
wanted to save 2 characters of space in a date? Let alone - for perfect
un-ambiguity - a four digit entry in a date field can only be the year.
Please - use YYYY, even if just in memoriam of my christmas 99 :-(
