I've been using that format too for the same reason, without knowing about 8601. Day/Month/Year is great for a person (I'm in Aus) since we, as human beings, intrinsically know what year it is, and probably know what month it is if we haven't been on a bender. But string sorting is so much easier using yyyyMMdd format.
