unfortunately I can only come up with a negative answer: I
skimmed the Bringhurst and although he does discuss date strings
with slashes as separators, I could not find anything concerning
their spacing. As you guessed, “personal taste” might be a valid
criterion in this matter. Maybe you should redirect this question
to http://typophile.com/forums, but make sure to come back with a
definite answer ;-)
