ISO 8601 is YYYYMMDD (or YYYY-MM-DD in extended format)

Are you really going to wood chipper someone for leaving off the leading 20? I think we can safely infer the century and millennium with a high confidence, why not trade them for two extra name characters?

As an old person who has archives dating back to the 90s, yes.

are we just talking digital because i've inherited archives. my current one only goes back to the 1950s but in the next decades i expect to get some going back centuries.

I helped digitally convert my local library's microfilm archives, mostly newspapers, but also some really old titles and deeds. Tons of stuff from the 1800s.

do you also read the word TITLES wrong in lowercase?
