Why not tag the items with "y2006 m12 d29"?
Alternatively, use the 4-digit year, 3 letters (jan,feb,mar,apr,may)
for the month, and two digits for the day.

With the schemes above, you can use "y2006+m12" or "2006+dec".
Even better, you can get things like "everything I've posted on any
april 1st ("apr+01"). It doesn't seem like a heirarchical scheme would
be as amenable to this.

Trivially from above, you can use "aug+2006" or "2006+aug"
