These aren't controlled by the template. I was interested to know why these headings look very much like timestamps (and effectively are timestamps, though at the top level they mention just a year and at the second level just a year and a month), but aren't actual timestamps. Eric Fraga said "I don't think it would make sense for the headlines in the date-tree to have time stamps"; but my question is not why they don't have time stamps, but why they ARE not time stamps (purely in the formal sense: the information they contain is already effectively a time stamp, as far as I can see). I was hoping to discover the rationale for the design from a developer :)
