- Seems to me your new HTTP protocol would support this, maybe? Date
- could just be one of the return values. However, it would be nice to
- be able to determine the last-modified date for a document remotely
- without actually having to fetch the whole document (pardon me if I'm
- missing something since I haven't read your new HTTP stuff yet).

- Timestamps would be a great enabling mechanism for computer-assisted
- browsing of the Web.
