ISO 8601 assumption

[MiRaGe at MiRaGe-avm.com]

We could re-number the months 32 to 43, instead of 1 to 12.  
Today's date could be written 5-41-2000 or even 5/2000/41 etc. 
;)

But seriously...How about preceding the month number with the
letter 'M'?  Today could be 5:M10:2000.

BTW - I always feel that a dash used in conjunction with a
number is just asking to be confused with a minus or negative
symbol.
