FFDL already has three dates (for most sites) in it's metadata:
  • Published - when the story was first created (from the site)
  • Updated - when the story was last updated (from the site, usually only when new chapters)
  • Created - essentially 'now', when FFDL is being run (labeled Packaged on the title page)

That's what I consider optimal.
