That sounds like a maintenance nightmare.  We're talking about thousands 
of entries over the course of a year or two.  For example, news stories or 
event postings might run a few days or months, then drop off.  Many of the 
records reference paid listings that can also be "un-expired" by changing 
an end date, so any time someone edits a record I might have to rewrite 
the whole robots.txt file.
