> G11N -> I18N and L10N.

That's a new one to me, but makes sense. I've been lucky enough to have heard of i19n and l10n for years (almost decades, and this point) but not had to deal with it much beyond tracking down a string in some open source webapp I was patching before deploying.

> can't we all just use ISO-8601?!

Preach on. I sometimes find myself filling out date fields in paper forms in YYYY-MM-DD without thinking. The elementary school my kids attend probably thinks I'm a weirdo. I know my wife does...
