I don't know any place in Europe using such a format, the one that is
used at least here is D[D].M[M].[YY[YY]] (but it also suffers from the
same sort of potential ambiguity and confusion that plagues the american
M[M]/D[D][/YY]).

Yes (assuming this is ISO8601 we're talking about).  As another bonus,
it does sort correctly without jumping through burning hoops.
