The VMS date format, as per the subject line, was first standardised by
the US Department of Defense. They picked it because it isn't anyone's
native format, but everyone can understand it. 

I work for a British branch of a US-based company that's owned by a
German firm. I use VMS format dates for all official communications, even
though we haven't had VMS running for over twenty years.
