Christ, do this many people really find iso8601 hard to read? It’s the date and the time with a T in the middle.
I think it's fair that programmatic and human readable can be different. If someone is putting in the month word for a logging system they can fuck right off though
I use it all the time when writing dates.
As long as they use letter for months, like Jul 09, 2013 its fine. Otherwise prefer a sorted timescale version. Either slow changing to fast changing yyyy mm dd or fast to slow dd mm yyyy.
