Why not 230-2020-12-01 to avoid the awkward 'US order or 'most-of-the-rest-of-the-world order' issue?

Edit: the great irony is that your example included an error which I then reproduced! Obviously, 1st jan is unambiguously:

230-2020-01-01

If you were representing 1st dec, though, I’d suggest:

230-2020-12-01

Actually I was trying to avoid the US date standard myself, then got confused and wrote a date that follows no standard that I know of. My mistake entirely.
