I still like the idea to be able to use a plain date, but when I need it, I would most than probably set it as an inactive timestamp in the entry title in my case. It would thus be addressed if the "munging" would also handle cleverly the timestamp in an entry title (which it should do anyway I think). So, from my perspective, this approach fully fulfill the needs in an efficient way.

There will be enough time to worry about if they go wrong. Then, it's time to fire a new arrow towards another direction. Don't sink. Adapt yourself ! The archer has to shoot accurately and quickly.
