I'm not quite sure I follow. Would the *world-name*2 folder be archived at the beginning of the next backup cycle? Or just some time after the backup cycle is run?

I'd prefer to stick with time stamps as it makes systematically cleaning the archives easy. I can use a minimum of regular expressions to pick out specific backups and toss them. For example, under the 2011.11.14 directory, I might have 00:00 - 23:45 in 15min. intervals (sidenote: the colon has been replaced with a dash in a later commit), but since it's a day old, I only want hourly backups available. All I have to do is "ls -1r | grep -v "00" | rm -rf" or something like that and I've removed almost all the backups that weren't made on the hour.

Though if you're simply suggesting we keep a que of sorts and time-stamp the directory after the backup's been ran, that's fine too. Correct me though, if I misunderstood something.
