I would note that the first letter of "ASCII" stands for "American".

Is there any language/locale/whatever that both (1) uses Arabic numerals and (2) does not sort the numerals in the same way ASCII does?

You're right. I was thinking that you need the dash to sort in the right order, but of course the dash is always in the same place in ISO 8601.
