2-digit year formats went out in 1999 for good, right?

Reasons not to do this:

2 digits inceases the possible confusion space, for example a DOB of 12-Jan-11 would be valid either way around, whereas representing it as 12-Jan-2011 is unambiguous.
Microsoft Health CUI suggests use day(number)-month(3-letter-contraction)-year(4-digit number)

I haven't yet looked to see if this formatting is purely Odonto-RMS or if it's coming in from Opal
