Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-06-30 23:41:49 UTC 
YYYY-MM-DD, but I'll try to clarify.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-09-02 22:30:09 UTC 
I'm guessing this is not clear only because the link to the definition of "valid date string" wasn't followed. Anyway, I've changed the examples to make this less ambiguous.
Comment 3 contributor 2014-09-02 22:30:48 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r8737.
Check-in comment: Try to make examples more useful by having dates that can't be interpreted as DD-MM
