Henri: As a practical matter? If that's what you have, that's what you use. But a lot of it comes down to knowing your audience and your priorities. If something on your box routinely tweaks your Last-Modified dates without making material changes, and you've got a lot of readers using aggregators that flag updated entries, you'll probably annoy some folks. You get to decide if that matters to you... if it does, turn off whatever is changing Last-Modified, or kludge together something to insert static dates into atom:updated. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL
