Agreed.
Standard just says something like 'It USUALLY contains date/time"

Thus, looking at growing code, i suggest to drop out any date/time overwriting.
This will of course also simplify code a bit.
We already have interactive number of scanned page which shows that
pages are beeing receiveing.

If "current time" feature is still needed we can show date/time only
when needed (e.g. by slave coomand/hotkey).

Suggestions? Opinions?
