Yes, the version and date tags of the file you mentioned
(hb-install-x86+amd64-medium.xml) are identical. But if you append
"&passthru" to the URL, e.g. :

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=2&passthru

you can see that there are other files involved as well. The XML code
you get there is from doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml which has
<date>2013-02-11</date>. That's the date the warning talks about.

You get the warning because doc/fr/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml wasn't
updated yet: It has <date>2010-07-19</date>. However, the date displayed
on the french webpage is indeed the date from
doc/fr/handbook/hb-install-x86+amd64-medium.xml. I suppose the date that
appears on the rendered page is the newest one of the dates of all the
files that are involved, thus ensuring that *every* part is updated.
