@spencerkclark It looks like dateutil's _parse method has dayfirst and yearfirst parameters to disambiguate such date. For netcdftime, I think we always want dayfirst=False, yearfirst=True (basically, use YYYY-MM-DD like ISO 8601).

I'm not super happy with using the private _parse method but I given that pandas uses it I suppose this is pretty safe. In the worse case scenario, it would be pretty easy to fork this logic from dateutil or a library with ISO-8601 parsing (e.g., Arrow).
