Dear all,

*Context:*

I (and other people, for example: http://bugs.debian.org/656736) had the 
issue of the modification of the "Last updated" field at the bottom of the 
generated page that gives the modification date of the page (not the 
revision date) when you use asciidoc to generate HTML pages.

For example, I'm using a central git repo for the text pages and generate 
the html pages using a batch. When you update repo that is used for the 
batch it can be at another date than the date of the revision, so the "Last 
updated" field at the end of the page can be confusing.

*My proposition:*

I've made a little patch *for the english version only* and opened an issue 
on the google repo, but I'm not sure it's the right place to do this.
Here's the url of the issue: 
https://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/issues/detail?id=29

What I did in the patch is I used a new standard attribute named 
"footer-style" (you can change it if you want!) that could take 3 values:
- *default* :or not defined, same as currently)
- *none* : not displaying the footer-text section
- *revdate* : displays the revision date instead of the source file 
modification date
Any other value will display only the version number from the footer-text 
section(if defined).

*My questions:*

Would this feature be useful for someone else?
Do you think it's a good idea to include it in the official version?

Thanks in advance,
Joseph
