POI:

There is indeed a longdatetime creation date stamp in the OT/TT head 
table, and also a modification date.


I understood the creation date in the .webfont proposal to refer to the 
creation date of the .webfont, not the creation date of the font data.

I agree that creation date is not a good version identifier, because of 
the time zone issue.
