Tell that to the americans .. AFAIK they're the only ones on the planet that muddle up month and day so that if none of the two are larger than 12 you're always unsure which was meant. I for one have taken to using the 3-letter abbreviation of the month even for my own use, it's a real help when reading the datestamp.
Oh - and I'm aware there are other calendars in use on this world - but if we're talking about universal timestamps it's senseless to bring up הלוח העברי or التقويم الهجري or تقویم هجری قمری. ;-)
It's very sensible IMHO to use the YYYYMMDD format, it's good for calculations "out of the box"!
