 Some aggregators, like Planet, sort by mtime rather than ctime. This
 means that posts with modified content come to the top (which seems odd
 to me, but is presumably what the aggregator's author or operator

+but it also means that posts with insignificant edits (like
 adding tags) come to the top too. Atom defines `<updated>` to be the date
 of the last *significant* change, so it's fine that ikiwiki defaults to
 using the mtime, but it would be good to have a way for the author to
 say "that edit was insignificant, don't use that mtime".

 See smcv's 'updated' branch for a basic implementation, which only affects
 the Atom `<updated>` field or the RSS equivalent.
