Wouldn't that be 06-29-2004 in the US?

In Germany, Austria ans Switzerland it's 29.6.2004 anyway. I guess we're used to 29-06-2004 now, but it's not "native".

PS: 2004-06-29 is great for implicit sorting, but I would never ever write a date this way in any other context than filenames, etc (when writing in German).
