Very smart indeed.

Proposal? that this idea be made available for copyright as part of the
general distribution? Surely Dean isn't the only one to realise that
his copyright is now n years out of date?


<copyright id="met-copyright">
              <year>2005-&CURRENT_YEAR;</year>
              <holder>My Company</holder>
          </copyright>

Not sure how syntactically, possibly using the PI where Dean has the 
entity? but having me specify 2005, and letting the stylesheets pull in
the current year seems a good way to address this?
