I find YYYY-MM-DD a bit more readable than YYYYMMDD. I once switched my SQL queries to YYYYMMDD from YYYY-MM-DD as there was a problem with the ISO 8601 dashed standard in that SQL Server's datetime (not datetime2) will swap the month day for certain languages.
Yuck! Yes, separators are good, and probably dashes are best. I feel it's the order of the elements that really should be adopted. Unambiguous - the only way.
