Re: [lojban] Lojban / Most translated Web Page

It is not very clear to me what status the recommendation
to use DD;MM;YYYY has in Lojban. The reverse order is equally
grammatical and just as easy to understand. It is also
unambiguous, because the 4 digits of the year make it clear
which part is the year. So:

{li 2000;05;07} can be nothing but May 7th of this year,
same as {li ;05;07} and {li ;;07}. (I would assume that
elisions default to current.)

Similarly {li 07;05;2000}, {li 07;05;} and {li 07;;}.

Since there is no possible confusion, there doesn't seem
to be any need to exclude either one as a possibility.
