That aspect of the timeline is also incorporated in
the DVD's timeline, which JKR was involved in the
development of, as she edited it and approved the
final version. 

If you go back to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/55324
you can find the discussion we had about 5 weeks ago,
when the DVD was released, about Hermione's birthday.
There are some here who do not consider the DVD to be
canonical, despite the input JKR had in the creation
of it, so they also would likely not consider the BOOK
timeline canonical (although I can find out if JKR had
any input into the BOOK timeline, as I still have the
reporter's email from when she interviewed me for the
article).

It seems that all the elements of the timeline have
already been incorporated at the Lexicon, which you
can find at http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon. Of
course, Steve had an essay by Ebony (of this list)
well before the timeline was out:
