Date and url, 'this page downloaded [date] from [URL]'?

Will the new version retain "Date and url, 'this page downloaded [date] from [URL]'", at least as an option?

That's listed on Reading/Web/PDF Functionality#Update After Consultation but not in Reading/Web/PDF Functionality#Differences between current and future implementation nor Reading/Web/PDF Functionality#Single Articles. The former suggests it is being retained but it's not listed in the latter. I'm confused.

I find it very valuable to have the date and URL:

  • I sometimes print an article, mark up the paper version, make the changes, then reprint. Usually the reprint is a few days later, so I can easily see which version is later by checking the date.
  • I also sometimes distribute copies of article(s) at meeting(s). With the URL, anyone can find that article on the web later, and the date eliminates confusion about different versions.

Thanks, ~~~~
