Hallo Michiel,
 
Mv>WD> Worth the trouble?
 
Mv> Yes, I think it is.
 
To me it looks like a techie-thing ... "Nothing techie has been done for a
while, let's do something techie... gives the FTSC something to document"
 
Mv> First: it is not all that much trouble.
 
And I'm not advocating "against", only highlighting there's no demand.
 
Mv> Second: when the option is there, more nodelist clerks will probably
Mv> start using it.
 
The theory is nice, but in your position as FTSC-chair running an election you
know perfectly how difficult it is to even raise the attention of a large
portion of those regional nodelist clercs.
 
Expecting to get a "wow"-effect and kick-starting that part of the realm is
wishful thinking ... in my opinion.
 
Mv> Having the day number
Mv> in the header and the file extension reflect the number of the day it is
Mv> actually produced is more logical and transparant.
 
All the tools are present to achieve exactly that already ... have been doing
that for over 2 decades now.
