I think your SOP to give headlines titles that are just Dates+Time --
- versus using descriptive titles -- would not help most people better
understand the document or the process that the outline represents or
organizes.

Leo lets you embed custom created attributes to each node, besides the
title and body text, but this takes some programming and LEO
experiences.  Trying to get around the programming by embedding
attributes or tags in the title is probably a dead end -- at least for
developers that want greater power and flexibility.  Data 'stored
(ideally discreetly) in my plaintext content' is inferior to data
stored internally that can be displayed and accessed anyway you want
it.  I.e. you will have a had time convincing  a programmer to use the
less-than-the-best tools available for the job.

I suggest working through a python tutorial. It sounds like what you
need are programming scripts to pull out and re-use/re-format data
from '20K+ bookmarks currently hostage to the vagaries of
del.icio.us'. Sounds like a perfect job for a program-- not manual
manipulation.

My favorite Python book
The Quick Python Book by Daryl K. Harms and Kenneth M. McDonald.
Second edition by Vernon L. Ceder
See http://www.manning.com/ceder/

And there are numerous online tutorials.  Google search 'Python
tutotial' and see http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers

Another option is to 'contract' out the work. You just need to
describe the job well and be very specific about the output you
expect. There are numerous sites devoted to freelance
programming.
