I found kind of a work-around, which does not work correctly! Maybe  
it gives you some hints…


I changed the two-liner to:

	 <meta name="DC.date" content="2009-07-15" />   <!-- "2009-07-13  
00:10:18 dunno" -->

and the file's tail to:

        </body>
        
        <!-- Local Variables: -->
        <!-- eval: (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp) -->
        <!-- eval: (add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'delete-trailing-whitespace) -->
        <!-- mode: html-helper -->
        <!-- fill-column: 99999 -->
        <!-- time-stamp-start: "    <meta name=\"DC.date\" content=\"" -->
	<!-- time-stamp-format: "%:y-%02m-%02d\" />   <!-- \"%:y-%02m-%02d % 
02H:%02M:%02S %u" -->
        <!-- End: -->
        
        </html>

If time-stamp is not in global write-file-hooks it's added here  
locally. Also the function delete-trailing-whitespace is added (which  
is not safe by default, you'll need to declare it as save by typing  
``!´´ when you're prompted). The mode line is not that meaningful,  
that with fill-column neither, just examples. The local variable time- 
stamp-start overrides the default "Timestamp" value. Here part of the  
standard header is defined as local substitute. Next comes the real  
time-stamp-format. Maybe it's possible to insert a newline there…

A final setting of time-stamp-end is also possible.


The HTML test file with these additions loads OK in GNU Emacs and  
displays OK in an HTML browser. When I save the file *Messages* shows:

        Saving file ....silly.html...
        timestamp delimiter start was not found

and the header now is something like this:

	    <meta name="DC.date" content="2009-07-16" />   <!-- "2009-07-16  
01:38:56 pete" />   <!-- "2009-07-16 01:38:56 pete" />   <!--  
"2009-07-13 00:10:18 dunno" -->

So repetition due to some malfunction/error exists! The `` -->´´ in  
the footer are not wrong or too much, they're needed. Maybe a block  
comment for the local variables section is better.
