This is the best way of doing it, and it would not have to be too
difficult. After all the mapping from URI -> Freenet Key is already done
in a manner most users don't understand, so adding a layer so that 

SSK at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbbb/[2001-11-28 00:00]-coolpage

maps to

SSK at aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbbb/3c041af0-coolpage

before being mapped to the 23 byte SSK value would not be any different.
Doing the actual hashing on a seconds since the epoch value makes a lot
of sense, since date formats are complicated often include a lot of
redundancy.
