OK, I read Mr. Bad's excellent keyindex essay (kudos!) and I think I understood 
it.

To enable anonymous key submission to freegle, I plan to establish two sets of 
key indices:

freegle-keys-yymmdd      (for submitting keys)
freegle-indices-yymmdd   (for submitting names of other key indices)

The yymmdd part is the current date.

I want people to always use the current date (timezone doesn't really matter, 
but we can state that GMT's our favorite). I will then have freegle retrieve 
all the indices of, say, the day before yesterday through tomorrow. That way, 
no submissions should be lost. Maybe I'll even do it twice a day for safety.

The DBR-like naming scheme is of course meant to prevent the indices from 
growing past a reasonable size. Since I haven't seen anyone mention a date 
based naming scheme for key indices, I just made up the format.

Does this sound like a reasonable direction to go?
