at least yyyymmdd makes some kind of sense. It follows the principle of any
numbering system in having the higher order numbers to the left, working down to
lower order to the right. And the UK version does at least do the same in

(ducks).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

cut traffic on this list by 10% or more if everybody would adopt the
