I've done that.

On my ToDo.otl, sometimes I have a DONE tree, and as a tree gets done I move 
it to the DONE tree by collapsing, then dd to delete, and p in the done tree 
to put it there. If I want a journal of what I've done in each day, at the 
end of the day (isn't it nice to hear that phrase pertain to a real time and 
not as silly CEO speak?) I rename DONE to 20071015 or whatever.
