Timestamp in SVG output

hornc opened this issue · comments

Is there a standard SVG tag to include a created timestamp?

Will help determine the latest version of an svg glyph output if there are multiple copies with the same filename.

this isn't a good idea -- what is important is the json data version, not when it was created. If there are multiple copies of output all that matters is that the data is up to date. If a timestamp is needed for any other reason, it can be taken from the filesystem last modified time.

To determine latest version of a glyph the alphabet json files should be versioned, and that number should be written to the output svg.
