In the twelve books (as well as New Spring), I can't think of a single instance where the exact date something happened needed to be hidden, yet a fair amount of frustration (for the fanatics) could have been averted by a simple listing under the chapter name, the date (on the WOT calendar).
It's still possible in ToM.
So you could have like below, with the dates in a smaller font. It doesn't impact on book size. It's such a tiny extra amount of ink it might cost an extra 0.01c per book to add in, yet would save much hair pulling trying to put together chronologies.
Chapter 13
The Dragon slays the Fool
Jumara-10
Chapter 14
The Angry Amyrlin mourns Gawyn
Jumara-12
