Not necessarily.

In fact, it has been reasonably hypothesized that YYYY-MM-DD
is the most
cross-cultural, cross-ability, cross-language accessible /
readable /
understandable date format (in comparison to two digit
years, named months,
or randomly ordered year month day as opposed to numerically
significant
ordering) and thus is actually desirable in a global (e.g.
WORLD-wide-web)
context.

Times have not been subject to the same analysis yet.
