You can specify the date as "PRIMARY=AUXILIARY", as in:
2012/09/30=2012/10/30
They mean whatever you choose them to mean, and are reported using the
--primary (default) or --auxiliary flags.
The other option is to use metadata:
; MyDate: [2012/11/30]
Now you should be able report with --date=tag('MyDate'), which will fall back
on the --primary or --auxiliary should that tag not exist for a given posting.
