Regarding the order of year, month and day you are right. I use it 
myself but the point is that kaddressbook does not know how to handle 
the "-" sign. A "/" would be much better. Or a more intelligent import 
filter.

BTW I am still struggling with the conversion of my addresses, 
especially the birthday date to be kaddressbook compatible afterwards. 
I think I have to use a combination of awk, sed and regular expression. 
Since everything is quite new for me any hint is appreciated.
