You example is not correct. 

Until 3.5 (and all Excel versions since 4.0, Staroffice and OpenOffice
versions), the input (using the german locale) was tried to be interpreted as
as DD-MM: therefore 12-31 resulted in a string "12-31", but 31-12 resulted in
31.12.2012 (31st December of the current year).

In German language it is common to say a date is on "the 31th of march" or at
the "31st 3rd" (normally in german ;-) ) when you are speaking about the
current year. So everything is consistent except the fact that minusses are
used to seperate the values.

Until 3.5 it didn't play any role if minuses or dots have been used for
seperation.
