It would be useful if the main page and the individual release pages had messages somewhere on them about when the spec became active.

Examples:

"This is the current version of the semantic versioning specification. It was originally released on 2022-02-02."

"This is an old version of the semantic versioning specification. It was originally released on 2011-01-01. It was superseded by version 2.0.0 on 2022-02-02."

The specific wording is not important to me, but I think the date information would be extremely useful.
