I believe YYYY-MM-DD is even less ambiguous than YYYY/MM/DD.

Correct. Slashes mean it's a yank date and going to be backwards. Dashes hint that it's going to be (close to) ISO standard.

And it doesn't use a path-separator character for the date.

Slashes are used for dd/mm/yyyy as well. Dashes are indeed better if you want a separator. or use the separator-free ISO 8601 syntax.
