This is why ISO8601 was my first choice, it sorts naturally, lots of
systems use it (Many SQL servers, for instance), and is human readable
(although it is only in common useage among computer people, but the 4
digit year makes it easy to decipher).

But everything I work in has a library to convert from that and the
RFC822 date to and from Un*x time, so it really doesn't matter to me.
