Sproaticus:

We could also reuse "Revision" for translations.

You mean like,

    Revision: Todd Lehman, 19971224, en
    Revision: Minx Kelly, 19980921
    Revision: Jacob Sparre Andersen, 19990221, da

or some such?

No, like:

   Revision: Todd Lehman, 1997-12-24
   Revision: Minx Kelly, 1998-09-21
   Translated-From: en
-> Revision: Jacob Sparre Andersen, 1999-02-21 <-
   Content-Language: da

More easily read by humans, probably just as easy to parse.  What would a
time-of-day stamp look like?

Can't remember. I think you append

  "-"
  Hours (two digits)
  "." (or is it ":")
  Minutes (two digits)

Plus:
       Include:         [applies the headers of the included file]
Which of the header entries?

Any and all, probably.  Included headers could then be overridden by the
includer.

All entries means that you claim that the including file was
revised every time the included file was revised.

Not good!

- ASCII + HTML entities are allowed in the headers.
At least the &reg; -style chars.  I don't see much need
for more HTML in the headers.
That is what you call HTML entities.
Todd seems to want Latin-1 + HTML entities. That's fine for me.

Arg.  My bad.

Anyway, I prefer typing "&reg;" over "(hold down ALT key)0174(release ALT
key)".  The mnemonics are *much* easier to remember.  Do you have any
preferred way of escaping hard-to-type characters?

I prefer to use [Compose],[o],[r] - much faster.

Typing and storage encoding doesn't have to be the same
anyway.

Play well,

Jacob
