While I agree to the (far better) suggestions that were raised deeper within 
this thread, I wonder what would have been so wrong about putting the date of 
when the temporal score was updated in the NVT. Except for the hurdles of 
integrating a display of that into the clients.

However, I am all in for metadata and inclusion of other sources for stuff 
like cvss.
