Hmmph. I'd have guessed that memorizing seven dates would be the least
challenging thing you've accomplished in quite some time ;)

Anyway, I'll point out that we should try for appropriate markup
(whatever that is, but imho probably without dates in chapter titles),
and let Peter's upcoming style sheets solve any requirements for output
arrangement.

Embedding dates in the titles is a short-cut to having a table of
release dates, which we should put somewhere in front of the release
notes chapters...
