These examples suggest D-M-Y, which only seems to work with the calendar
set to european style. Maybe, it would be better to change the example
to M-D-Y (I think it is more common?) and add a footnote that provides
the info that the date format is depending on calendar-date-style?
The next paragraph (Anniversaries from BBDB) on the other hand states a
fixed order.

So, if I understand it correctly, org-bbdb settled on iso format,
diary-anniversary uses either american or european style depending on
calendar-date-style.
Thats somehow inconsistent, isn't it?
