Back to our old frenemy CSV for one (sadly not hypothetical) example: too many times our clients shuffle data (exported from various places) around in text format and someone along the chain has the wrong locale set so when ISO8601 dates get silently converted it is to a format the next users version isn't expecting but silently assumes is correct because by some "miracle" the ambiguous day/month number combination is "valid" both ways around. The result is then imported into our system which is blamed for its answer not making sense...
