Hm.<br>
<br>
Shouldn't be 'page' because in many cases the item last modified is not
necessarily stand-alone. I would just say 'last-modified'.<br>
<br>
Also, looking at the various systems of designating dates online, a
plain format such as '20050102' and '2 Jan 2005' is definitely
non-standard. Minimally, I would recommend adoption of the W3C's
recommendation: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime">http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime</a> See also ISO 8601
