Description 

It would be a nice to have to be able to put a timestamp on each map that is 
produced. Of course it would be a really nice to have if we were able to 
specify date string types, etc.

Not a bad idea, but it will have to wait a bit, most likely for the next release
although it would be introduced in the development version far sooner. There may
be a workaround for you now. The ID generated internally for a request is based
on the time and the process id. So using Javascript you could extract the time
in seconds and convert on the client. It's not a good work around, nor may it
even be possible but if you're in a bind...

I would propose something like:

[date format="%YYYY-%mm-%dd"] 

and something similar for time.
