Hello Richard,
Thanks for your input. I am answering in the body:

Not all, just the YYYY-MM-DD... one, because this format is a
normalized/standard one.
As documented, the DD-Mmm-YYYY like "12-Feb-2031" or "7-Jun-2024" does nor
require any mandatory leading zero.

Then, for a big subset of dates, there would not be any way to
distinguish it from DD/MM/YYYY,
unless for instance using a distinct separator: MM\DD\YYYY. Not sure
that this would be actually ok.
Would it? IMO, a "US" optional flag would not be more handy.
Best regards
Samuel
