I mean that some publications hav a feature about what happened on this day in 1986, etc. If the date on an article is a link to some page that is robotic, then maybe it could read something like a concordance -- one sentence from every article containing that date, click on a button to get article titles. I only followed a date link once, and some interesting things were there, so I can't say I know much about what can be done with date links. So, I guess my question is...does every editor want their dates automatically linked? Maybe it should be a user preferences option. Will you ever follow date links? Hide date links?

There's no telling when such information might get automated, used and reprinted. I would've liked to get information about hits on http://www.ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/font/Saffron_Karaoke_Duet.wmv , because "Copies on optical disk must be gifts." is a pretty open license and so far, I've only had one personal "liked it" review (And he was looking at version three; I'm at version five.). My sister's copy will be late for her birthday, yesterday. In any case, since I'm designing it for a-capella training, there's really only one test of whether it will last. Did I mention that I hav another arrangement in mind? Point is, that some numbers don't really matter, unless people remember.
Sorry, I'm not seeing what this has to do with date links or the price of tea in the PRC.
