This is fantastic. I assume it would be a user-pref whether to get the threaded or unthreaded version?

As for presentation of aging, you needn't change the text color. Instead, how about small image bullets that are colored according to age? All you'd need is maybe 15 small solid-color PNG's, so there shouldn't be a serious load associated with them. Or, if that's not acceptable, you could use various levels for A id's: that would be themable, even through user CSS. 

<a id="reallynew" href="something.htm">A node link</a>
<blockquote>
    <a id="prettyold" href="something-else.pl">Another link</a>
</blockquote>
