Script Header Date Format

Now for something completely pedantic:

Well, not really - but it might seem to be to Americans.

I have noticed that both the script_template.nss file, and all other created files containing the Header, are using the American date format mm/dd/yy.

Is there any chance of having this switched over to the more internationally compatible yyyy-mm-dd or other? Better to nip it in the bud now, than later.

I know it might come across pedantic, but I am sure Americans would feel the same way if forced to use dd/mm/yy. (And using a standardised format will decrease confusion.)

Sure. I typically actually use dd/mm/yy (just cause I think it makes more sense than the US method), but yyyy-mm-dd is fine with me.

yyyy-mm-dd sorts much nicer. You'll note the entirely Americanized TPI mod is numbered so - no issues here.

No problem using that format either. However, I should point out that most of the ACR work is being done by *ahem* Americans... might be nice to see an Aussie or two writing some code. :P
