Then send him EPUB books and dont send him the OPF. I'm sorry, but your use case is simply too specific. I am not going to add an option to ignore timestamp metadata from standalone OPF files.

Reading metadata from OPF files is one of the primary way to restore the metadata database and an option that breaks that paradigm needs to have a lot more justification than this.
