Alphabetic months only work for some languages. I did use that for a few years till I encountered more not-English-speakers. So I use all numeric ISO, though I think adding 10000 to year might be a good idea to remove BC/AD, BCE/CE and make dates more than 2025 years ago simpler.

I've not started using it generally, yet.
