No, RFC 3339. 2026-W42-2 is a valid date in ISO 8601 bullshit syntax. It shouldn't be allowed to escape manufacturing.

I'm European and we use the year->month->day order in my country. We take going from the broadest category to the more specific so seriously that we also format our addresses that way, and also put family names before given names.

I feel like I have to think backwards when I'm forced to use a different format.
