YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.
ISO 8601, while great, has too many formats. May I introduce RFC 3339 instead?

Huh, I've never noticed how much bloat was in ISO 8601. I think when most people refer to it, we're specifically referring to the date (optionally with time) format that is shared with RFC 3339, namely 2023-11-22T20:00:18-05:00 (etc). And perhaps some fuzziness for what separates date and time.
