I support this wish. Here in The Netherlands we have a standard 
published by the NIDF (Dutch Institute for Digital Fotography). They 
advice to use the following format for archiving purposes:
abcdYYYYMMDD-9999.ext
1.- 4 characters being initials of the fotographer
    cmae or cm-- or chm-
2.- 8 numericals for the Year Month and Day
3.- a hyphen
4.- sequence# of 4 digits; up to 9999 pictures per day can be archived
5.- file-extension

1, 2 and 5 are met by digikam. Current SVN-digikam also uses a hyphen 
for 3. and for 4. 6 digits are used. It would be nice if this was made 
configurable.
