I can’t find it specified anywhere. I did find a Microsoft example that had “5/5/1955”. Is that d/m/y or y/m/d.
I’m guessing that I probably ought to use ISO 8601, but it would be nice to know for sure.

According to the OASIS spec, the type associated with URI
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/dateofbirth is
xs:date, so it should be a normal XML date format… which is indeed ISO-8601, according to XML Schema Part 2. (That talks about the time zone for a date being representable, which strikes me as a little odd, but never mind.)
