The purpose of the date footer is to indicate that either the functionality of 
what's being documented has changed, or the documentation itself has changed 
enough that people might want to change how they're using the underlying 
object.  I.e. it's a flag saying "pay attention - you might want to re-read me 
in full if you last looked here before the date."
