[tei-council] @versionDate

[Martin Holmes]

@versionDate is currently defined as:

versionDate	specifies the date on which the translated source text was taken

I don't think that's quite as clear as it could be -- doesn't it really 
mean "the date on which the source text was translated"?

Should we also add some clarification about the reason for the 
attribute's existence? -- along the lines of:

"This attribute can be used to determine whether a translation might 
need to be revisited, by comparing the modification date on the 
containing file with the @versionDate on the translation. If the file 
has changed, the SVN log can be checked to see whether the source text 
has changed since the translation was made."

Cheers,
Martin
