Great idea, please do share if you get anything working.  I second that
time data can be a pain in gnuplot, but then all the more reason to add
support to org-plot to avoid having to deal with gnuplot directly.

If you get something working with org-mode dates, I think it would
certainly make sense to include it in org-plot, so that it handles
timestamps "out of the box".
