E.g. when transforming to HTML I would present a note to the user by means of the HTML title attribute that contains a sentence like "Link verified on <date>", iff the DocBook link contains the respective attribute. Was (mis)use of the "revision" attribute the solution to go for? The reason behind my wish is German law: I only take responsibility for the link target in its state it was in when I created the link, but this means that I somehow need to record the date, that might be older than the last modification of the whole document.

It's more than a date you are recording?
Semantic markup would perhaps be
<visit>
   <date>
    <etc>

How can you model that using docbook?
