"some countries"? How about "just about all". MDY is such an unusual format that in IBM date terms the four digit year version is designated as *USA!

When I was working on IBM's Y2K offerings the contractor that produced the tool did not originally include an MDY version as they had never heard of it. As a result (and luckily for them) they had never encountered the idiotic multiply by 10000.01 conversion method either.
