I thought the most formally approved standard was yyyy-mm-dd. For example:
Linkname: Summary of International Standard Date and Time Notation
URL: http://www.unisys.com/marketplace/year2000/geninfo/datestd.htm
by Phil Dodd, Unisys Australia
Australian Standard AS 3802-1989 and Internation Standard ISO 8601:1988
specify numeric representations of date and time. The information in
this document was extracted from these two standards. The international
standard notation representing the year, month, and day is:
YYYY-MM-DD
(I haven't verified the source. I like it because it's easy to sort.)
