Very true, but better than the AM/PM stuff, and unambiguous (unlike 
mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy).  I have in my SYSTARTUP_VMS:

$! Set up date/time format.
$!
$       @SYS$STARTUP:LIB$DT_STARTUP
$
$ !   Display date & time is ISO 8601
$
$       Define /system  LIB$DT_FORMAT -
                 LIB$DATE_FORMAT_037,LIB$TIME_FORMAT_001

I'm a great believer in ISO 8601 ever since we had a software license 
expire on February 2nd when we were expecting it to last till March 3rd!
