What is the default read rate? Less frequent reading would be ideal for some cases.

Yes time is already stored in the internal file format and thus can be added to the KML output. Do you have a link to a concrete example for how time is stored in KML?
See (from a simple timestamp kml search)
Time and Animation KML Documentation

Looking at white_shark.kml example your kml structure needs to be altered a bit (i.e. each time-stamp seemingly needs to be paired with space-coordinates) However this addition would make the tool more professional. Mapper might have time-stamping enable outputting option --looking at this blog. (Can't test mapper due to dependency issues during installation)

No problem with adding valid feature requests to the TODO list ;-) I think the time stuff should be the easiest one to add.
You could have a check-box type of option indicating to save a file with time-stamp (for its actual kml output name) It is always a good idea to save such location information with the beginning of the recording.
