This is a good suggestion, the standard on the internet is ISO 8601 
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html

I have tried to make the dates on my web page comform to this but sometimes 
something slips by because of local habits.

Nice thing for us hams, we are already familiar with UTC so it doesn't take 
much for us to use it.
