I was thinking a little bit different way - for example:

[R14 XDG Updates]
Updated=R14.0.0

or (maybe better - can cover also changes during development versions and 
also easier for comparison in shell)

[R14 XDG Updates]
Updated=20130407

Where timestamp is not date of the conversion for user, but the internal 
date of r14-xdg-update script, which make conversion.
