Why include a date at all? Most people use date to try to
determine currency. In your case, this is not a concern and it doesn't
even look like you're using the date for internal purposes. If people
insist on having a date printed somewhere, just play with the semantics.
Use a word like "created" or "modified" instead of "updated". It means the
same thing.
