Parse document created/updated dates

[Sentimentron]

I had a look at this a long time ago, but, whilst detecting the dates is quite straightforward, segregating them into date published / date generated is quite tricky, especially if the article contains other dates. You've got several options:

• Use an heuristic: e.g. "first date"
• Modify the UI to show a range of possible dates or be deliberately vague, gmail-style ("about a week ago")
• Try to induce rules like these people at my old university to generate per-site selectors. Regrettably, I don't think this approach really scales very well and it hides its heavily-supervised nature.
• Google's recommendation is to include a date between the article title and its content and lots of sites site should follow this advise, which restricts the range in which you need to look. They also (apparently) use sitemaps.

I think we will end up using as many sources/methods as possible for this to cover all cases so it would be okay to begin implementing the simple ones!
