in reply to So, what's an object attribute anyway?

Is that modification time a property of the text of the article, of the html which marks up the article, of the unique URL that points to the article, or something else?

Its a property of the text and something else. Part of the text should be the publishing date.

If you're adding a little substance, you need to note that in the text, maybe in a footnote, or you re-publish and add a edition/version number alongside the new publishing date.

If you're fixing typos/markup, you don't need to update the text, but the last-modified timestamp gets updated.
