There are three numerical formats I know of.
[1] Traditional 'Murkin. This one is e.g. 9/15/07.
[2] European. 15.09.07 or 15/09/07. The former I've seen
typically in German contexts; the latter can too easily
be confused with November 9th.
[3] ISO 860 (or a variant thereof). 2007-09-15. A full
timestamp has a 'T' in it: 2007-09-15T12:34:56.
Most people, however, would probably use a space instead:
2007-09-15 12:34:56.
Another format is partially numeric:
[4] 2007-Sep-15 or 2007-SEP-15. I've seen this one in VMS;
there are probably other venues where one might print
it out as well.
And of course there's the 15th of September, 2007 A.D.,
September 15 2007, and other such.
