Even most countries without roman-latin alphabets now use arabic-indian digits, so the ISO numeric format OR the non USA numeric format works, May doesn't work.
Many people, organizations, and governments still use 2 digit years, even for official forms.
Being over 100 years old is not required for this to wreak havoc with birth dates.
