Henk, I may well be old-fashioned, but when I want something to be kept, I keep it: save it on my disk, and make sure it's in a directory that gets backed up routinely.

Anybody who used geocities.com knows why.

(I'm biased on this question. In about 1993 I tried to persuade Tim Berners-Lee to make an expiry date obligatory for every HTML page.
I still think he was wrong to refuse.)

[Qin] Create date is more useful than expiry date when you read some blog and trace the history of idea in the HTML page. :-)

It's also important to specify this from the start. We probably don't want rough notes to become part of the public record of standards activities, and subject to subpoena.
