Where I live, "DD. MM. YYYY" is the standard but some old tombstones use

first two digits of year, then a "proper" (horizontal-bar) fraction of DD/MM, then second two digits of year

Do you know why one would ever do that? 20(02/05)25 feels like the "Don't Dead Open Inside" of dates.

Which is exactly why they're used on tombstones. See, the world makes sense after all!

That's just a layout. Let's not confuse presentation with content.
