Well, if we use the date format provided by nl_langinfo(), it's still
user-settable; in fact, to get an ISO date format, you would do...
nothing at all, because ISO date format is the one that's part of the
default C/POSIX locale. :)

If you want the date format from another locale, you can just set
LC_TIME=ll_CC.
