Should the datestamp be *just* a date? Or should it include a timestamp?
This would be useful mainly for posts in the same day that have some
natural ordering (ie replies to one another). If it has a timestamp,
should it be 2020-11-19T17:01:26+00:00, 2020-11-19T17:01:26Z, or
20201119T170126Z, or are any of these good?
