Hmm.  I have org-diplay-custom-times set to t.
org-time-stamp-custom-formats is customized:
----------
org-time-stamp-custom-formats is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is (" %a, %b. %d " . "<%m/%d/%y %a %H:%M>")
Original value was
("<%m/%d/%y %a>" . "<%m/%d/%y %a %H:%M>")
-----------

On html export, the following is generated:
-----
<span class="timestamp-wrapper"><span class="timestamp">&lt;Tue, Sep.
10&gt;</span></span>
-----

so it looks like it's difficult to remove the brackets with those two
variables.

I was able to add this bit of javascript to my wordpress site to
remove the brackets:
-----------
     var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("timestamp");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; ++i) {
    console.log("removing timestamp");
  elements[i].innerHTML =
elements[i].innerHTML.replace(/(&lt;|&gt;|\[|\])/g,'');
}
---------
Is that what you mean by a filter, or should I be doing something in emacs.

thank you Nicolas!
