I'd parse it into a timestamp.

Yes, as far as I know it can be anyplace and will still parse.  Might as
well place it in the header.

Try indexing a test file like this:

   ./swish-e -c config -i test.html -T indexed_words


You can also format as xml if that's any easier.  With the libxml2 parser
you can even use fake tags like <foo>...</foo> in an HTML formatted
document instead of <meta name="foo" content="..."> if you like.
