How about a PI to extract the actual date as inserted by CVS in
$Date$, and transform it according to a date specification (as was
suggested for the formatting date PI)?

One may not wish to reveal that CVS is used as the versioning system,
or one may not like CVS' formatting of the date.


Not bothered *how* its done,
but I would like a neutral version which inserts the date,
for whichever reason a user needs?

So what about


<?dbtimestamp format="..."?>

for inserting current date. And

<?dbtimestamp format="..." cvsdate="$Date: ....$"?>

for inserting date taken from CVS tag?
