OK, well, that's kind of why I had it the other way around. With five 
format labels there's not much wasted space the other way.

Is the label going to be fixed? Are there others?

Do you mean cs:updated, or do you mean the index timestamp? Remember, 
the reason we advised leaving cs:updated blank in the styles was so that 
authors wouldn't feel compelled to update it on every update, which 
would be a waste of their time. (I know there was the issue of whether 
the styles still validated client-side...)

The problem with using smudge/clean filters in .gitattributes is that, 
as far as I can tell, they require particular client-side programs 
(e.g., Perl). A Windows user isn't going to have Perl. So leaving it 
blank seems best.

None of the date logic on the styles page changed, by the way. The 
timestamps will be correct as the styles are updated. It's just more 
complicated to use the commit timestamp than to update the timestamp if 
the style has changed, and so I didn't bother.
