The dates should be formatted something like one of:
21:00:00 17.03.1996 (European little-endian format)
21:00:00 17 Mar 1996 (Little-endian with textual month)
21:00:00 1996-03-17 (ISO standard big-endian)
21:00:00 1996 Mar 17 (Big-endian with textual month)
17 Mar 1996 21:00:00 (Little-endian with textual month, RFC822)
Note that the year should be displayed in 4 digits, and that
middle-endian dates are silly and confusing especially when displayed
numerically.
Ian.
PS: Yes, I know that some Americans write dates in middle-endian
format. More fools they ! :-)
