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.
