I too count out the months when the name appears. Whether numbers or
names are used, the format should be standard. I can write as in the
U.S. Military 12 December 2010; as in American writing December 12,
2010; as in Europe and the rest of the world 2010 December 12. Then
there are the abbreviations of the months, two instead of four digit
years, etc.
