Subject: Re: \date format according to ISO 8601

Hi,
I wouldn't like the idea of displaying \date in ISO 8601 format. I'd
rather prefer the human-readable version. The ISO 8601 is a standard for
"exchange of date and time-related data" [1], not for text documents
made for humans to read.
How to get what you want is explained here [2], I think. HTH.

Best regards,
Stefan
