No it would not be a good idea to do so. DD-MM-YYYY format is practically
useless on an international web site, specifically because it (on its own)
lacks any context to tell if it's a US-style date or an international style
date (except in those cases where the day of the month is > 12). In particular
DD-MM-YYYY will confuse a *lot* of Americans.
For example are you able to tell me if 10-05-2004 is the 10th of May or the
5th of Oct ? If you say 'yes' then how ? It could be either, depending on
context and author. If you say 'no' then why do you suggest that format be
used for any date in preference for, e.g., the much clearer 'May 10th 2004' ?
