The "." vs "/" makes no difference to me. Albiet, I am partial  
to the "." when illustrating a phone number (See the very top  
of my biz website: https://ashlies.ca

When I worked in industry where the client was primarily the  
military, the spec documents and other correspondences used  
what I call the odemeter arrangement for the date:

 yyyy mm dd, or  yyyymmdd

That made the most sense for me. It was super easy to sort  
files and instantly see the proper order of things.
