Fourthed.  Or fifthed.  I vote for yyyy-mm-dd (or yyyymmdd, which is what I
use internally, but I can see it being more confusing without the hyphens).

xx/yy/zz is IMHO more confusing because there are at least two existing
standards, dd/mm and mm/dd.  AFAIK there is only one standard way to
represent yyyy-mm-dd (I haven't seen yyyy-dd-mm, but I'm not an i18n expert
by any means).
