Michèle and other doc members,

There are several issues about the dates in the footer. I think I can fix them as follows:

1. root/index.php: 
(Current) The date is the date on which index.??.php is committed.
(Fix) The date is the date of index.??.php or news/news.??.inc, whichever is later.

2. XML based PHP files:
(Crrent) The date is put from the original XML file. If XML file is edited, and PHP files are generated before the XML file is committed, the author/date copied from XML file is about the previous commit.
(Fix) PHP Files should be modified to use CVS keywords as follows:
$cvs_author = '$Author$';
$cvs_date = '$Date$';

I think these fixes will require minor changes in xslt, header.inc and footer.inc.

Thank you
