It really would be nice to have a file timestamp not only in XML planet files but also in PBF planet files.
There is a definition in PBF format for this information: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PBF#What_are_the_replication_fields_for.3F The field is called "osmosis_replication_timestamp". A few weeks ago Geofabrik has started to include this file timestamp into their extracts. This is very useful if you want to update a previously downloaded planet file automatically.
