Actually I'm wondering where the proposal "make the changed: line a
database-generated timestamp" went to.

It could contain things like

 changed: $timestamp $authorized-by $source (e-mail or IP)

like:

 changed: 20040913-1641 SPACENET-N gert at space.net

so this would actually serve as some kind of audit trail for the object.

Right now, the usefulness of changed: is questionable, as anybody can put
anything inside these lines (as long as the date isn't in the future)...
