5 This is actually a point of discussion I had with Xavier (well, discussion,
6 he mentioned it before he went away :). You can change the date of the
7 document when you fix a stupid typo without auditing the rest of the
8 document for its accuracy. That might result in a inaccurate document
9 with a recent date.

11 Or you can resist the temptation of changing the date, yielding a perhaps
12 perfectly accurate and well-written document with an old date.
