   Most servers follow the NCSA convention for SSI.

>or

   These are both incorrect. The correct form is: 

   <!--#config timefmt="%d %b %Y" -->
      ^^                         ^^
       \- no space here           \- required space here

   The authoritative reference is:

   (my book is good to!) <- shameless plug!

   This is the general format from NCSA's page: 

   <!--#command tag1="value1" tag2="value2" -->

   <insert obligatory disclaimer about security and 
    performance issues related to SSI>
