We likely want to create some page variables for this.  Of course,
if a page's name already has a date of some sort in it, then one
can do:

    {(ftime {$Name})}

But I'm thinking we might want to have *ISO versions of the
various date/time expressions.  I'm still coming up with names
for these.  My best guess at the moment is one of:

    {$LastModifiedISO}            # output form yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
    {$CreatedISO}                 

or 

    @{$mtime}                     # output as @1178735110
    @{$ctime}                     

Either of these would then work as inputs to {(ftime)}.

Suggestions welcomed.
