The Armchair Designer suggested that we get rid of local time and use zulu time for everyone. There may be execution difficulties with that idea, but it could be used to fix a problem with the web as it stand: impermanence.
There should be (Yaka avoir) a syntax to append a date and time stamp to any URLs. It means "This ressource, as it was acceded at that time". Now it's simply a matter of choosing a character and encoding.
I could suggests that timestrings start with Saturn's symbol ♄ it represents a scyte. This has the merit of being out of ASCII, forcing UNICODE (U+2644, ♄) But it remains western-oriented of course. As the Egyptian culture is one of the oldest, using the glyph for Thoth may be more culturally correct, since He created astronomy and the calendar. What, who said that the hieroglyph font is not installed on their computer ?
