Guess what date 03-05-07 or 07-01-07 is. Is it month-day or day-month (I
never know, and do not wish to, in our international world), and is that
last thing a year (not a month or a day)? Especially once the
bugtracker been around long enough that we don't know what year it is.
Eventually I was able to deduce "two digit month"-"two digit day"-"two
digit year" format. If a date must be numerical, I argue that "four
digit year"-month-day is the only good unambiguous format.
And the automatic link creator is stupid. Look at
<http://bugs.gobolinux.org/view.php?id=120>. It's good practice to
delimit URLs by "<>" because they may not be part of URLs, unlike most
punctuation. And look what it's done -- made a link with a ">" in it!!!!
