It would be nice if you could invent a culture of your own, before
starting to squash other's. ;-)

Right. The way to write dates in a non-decreasing order is not an
american invention either. The traditional way to write short dates in
Sweden in is 7/8-97, for todays date.
Enough of this now. The way to write dates in mail messages is defined
by RFC822. If anyone want's to change this, just write a new RFC.
