I don't know that I'd have much use for it, but how about
sticking the date in a "title" attribute in the anchor? As
far as I can tell, the title attribute can be used for
more-or-less arbitrary information about the URL.
The format for a line in the bookmark file would become:
<LI><A href="where-ever" title="19980815">Anchor Text</a>
(format == `date +%Y%m%d`)
Then the file could be sorted, or otherwise manipulated, on
whatever combination of URL, date, &/or "Anchor Text" suited
the individual's need.
