We could re-number the months 32 to 43, instead of 1 to 12. Today's date could be written 5-41-2000 or even 5/2000/41 etc. ;) But seriously...How about preceding the month number with the letter 'M'? Today could be 5:M10:2000. BTW - I always feel that a dash used in conjunction with a number is just asking to be confused with a minus or negative symbol.

I even disagree about the assumption that yyyy-mm-dd is unambigous, because if the month number and the day-in-month number can be confused, they surely will according to Murphy's law, e.g. some people will create yyyy-dd-mm dates just as surely as they will create mm-dd-yyyy dates.
