Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

Machine-readable timestamps (via <time> elements or structured data) allow AI systems to parse dates without ambiguity across locale date formats, improving the reliability of freshness-based filtering.

SEO Impact

Semantic HTML date elements (e.g. <time datetime="…">) give search engines a locale-independent timestamp that complements and corroborates structured data dates.
