Publication date and quote validity are different dates

Official guidance may remain useful while a lender's example or quote has changed.

Conversely, a current quote can still require checking the law and authority that govern it.

Retain both source context and offer date. Calling a page recent is not proof that every rate, right or condition in a separate agreement remains current.
