I think this is an excellent idea. The recipe that I've just finished
writing (but have yet to document) starts with these lines:

$RecipeData['quickreplace'] = array
  ( 'version' => '20061013'
  , 'name'    => 'Quick Replace'
  , 'author'  => 'Stirling Westrup'
  , 'email'   => 'sti at pooq.com'
  );

So clearly I believe some such standard should be put in place.
