It also allows you to ask if the citation represents the author's most 
current thinking on the subject or whether they have changed their mind or 
broadened their scope, as recently occurred over a citation on my trencher 
research.  This is a serious consideration with the temporal disconnect 
represented by the longevity of web postings.
