ISO format dates work -- just try entering them as due dates :)

More examples of date and time formats are here.

I think the request was as display date. I'm glad that I can enter ISO 8601 dates but I'd like to see ISO 8601 dates as well.
Actually, I haven't noticed the date format that I selected in settings showing up anywhere...I've seen various other formats ("Friday, October 3, 2008 | 14:54" in the upper-right and "Mon 6 Oct 08" in the task information display, "Oct 6" in the iGoogle widget) but no 08/06/08.

I suppose it would be a large effort compared to the minority of people who would want it but I would like for the displayed date formats to be fully configurable as is the case with GNU date, PHP date() (and thus some web apps that use PHP), etc. (possibly with a few common default options, like the ones being used). Usually configurable dates will give either one option or a "short" and "long" format, but it seems there are more than two different date displays in Remember The Milk (though I don't know exactly how many).
