Why does
PS1="\d ..."
return a different (the USA) date format, to the date format returned by the
date
command?

Is it possible, in any of the formatting of the displayed dates; the
value retuned by the date command, and the \d for the PS1 string,  to
set the displaying format for the date, to be the ISO format
(yyyy-mm-dd)?
