Ah, gotcha.  Well, it's hard for me to explain without looking like a
wierdo, but my personal reason: I like dates.  In fact, I LOVE dates.
Dates on stuff make me happy.  Keeps me from getting confused.  I don't
know how many people out there are the same way.  But really, it's not
significant now that I think about your idea more.

So really, there is no need for it after all, I suppose -- as long as
there's the sequence number and a HISTORY entry, I'll be able to
maintain sanity ;)

But, it's time for me to plug my pie hole and see what others have to
say :).
