Are these keys KSKs or SSKs? I am not sure if it is easily done, but it might be possible to make one SSK for the index summary and a new SSK each day for the index submission. The index submission private keys can be published in the daily summary as the first entries. This will prevent someone with more time on their hands than brains from "future-spamming" your keyspaces with something like "First Post!" a million times or so.
Maybe the default action of the -insert SSK at .../indexname-epoch-0 should be to retrieve today's insertion keyspace from that key and proceed to use the retrieved index submission SSK to log the key insertion.
