What about DD Month,YYYY or Month DD, YYYY ?
It should eliminate some confusion if you spell out the month like: December 07, 2000 or 07 Dec. 2000

Personally I am confused as is with digit only representation (being born in Russia with DD.MM.YYYY and living in US with MM.DD.YYYY )

It's been said already of course, but since I was challenged...

Short version:
DD.MM.YYYY makes more sense than MM.DD.YYYY because the components of the date are ordered.

Slightly longer (possibly flamebait) version:
Just like much of what Americans today call English is rather badly spelled (why does the 'u' in 'colour' offend Americans?) the MM.DD.YYYY date format was born not because it made sense, but because that was the way dates were commonly spoken in the English language (January 1st 1875).

This difference between spoken word and written word didn't seem to be a problem for the Brits, but not surprisingly the Americans didn't much like it (they never really liked the Brits anyway...), so they changed it.

Being a Dane myself I have no such problems. We write DD.MM.YYYY (or YYYY.MM.DD when being official) and we read dates in the same order (kind of like '1st of January 1875'). Perfectly straight-forward and very simple. I wonder why anyone would bother with anything else. Then again, there are still people who don't use the metric system...

Disclaimer:
The ramblings above have absolutely no basis in actual world history... it sounded convincing though, didn't it?
