Hmmmmmm. I think it's the underlining code...

One of them is a timestamp for the CVS snapshot (development version
alert!), and the other is (hopefully) a more stable thing, with the
minor version increased with every release and the major version
increased when something particularly important happens.

If the timestamp changed every time I saved the file, patches might
not apply cleanly. (I don't know how CVS/RCS does it, but arch seems a
bit weird...)

Right, should do that soon. Thanks!

That gets marked up as

<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing=0>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Announce List</td><td>(<a 
href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a>)</td><td><a 
href="http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-announce";>http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-announce</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Help List</td><td>(<a 
href="mailto:address@hidden";>address@hidden</a>)</td><td><a 
href="http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-users";>http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-users</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Developer List</td><td>(<a

href="http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-dev";>http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fle3-dev</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

over here. Is that all right?
