But, according to that I assumed and continue to assume that the format YYYY-MM-DD is accepted worldwide. Isn't it ?
The point I was alluding to is that according to Wikipedia, ISO 8601 covers representations of the Gregorian (and potentially proleptic Gregorian) calendar. That leaves out people running other calendars, like the Hebrew calendar, or Islamic calendar, or one of the dozen or more other calendars supported by OS X. Chances are such users may still want/have to deal with ISO 8601 dates, but they will presumably prefer to do it in a way that doesn't involve changing the calendar used everywhere in the OS, which is what changing to the ISO 8601 calendar in System Preferences will do. It's a bit like, oh, expecting everyone to set their language to English ;-)
