Many URL's require parameters, such as dates or user names. It would be a great feature if it were possible to supply some of this information through macros (such as %Y or @Y for year). For instance, one page that I load regularly is a train schedule. It requires today's date in order to work. This date becomes stale, eventually, and I must modify it by hand or cut-and-paste in a new URL from time to time.
With regard to date formats, look at MS Excel's date formatting or the C programming API strftime().
An extention of this feature is a macro to lookup text in a list of name/value pairs that users can create.
