I customize my date format in System Preferences to look like ISO. There are problems in AppleScript if I don't use that format to concoct a date. i.e. I'm pretty much limited to:
set dstr to "2010-08-31"
date dstr
But that doesn't bug me because there's a lot of benefit to using an international standard for a date format.
What about making «class isot» into the standard date format for AppleScript?
I would guess that quirks like the above would gradually disappear if that was done.
