Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly to my query (over a dozen so
far, so I won't try to name them).
 
The definition has not changed, and the consensus is that most or all of
the definitions remain exactly the same as when they were first
published in the early 60's.
 
Thanks very much,

Subject: Webster's Dictionary

Our edition of Webster's Third New International Dictionary (from 1966)
defines contemporaneous as "1: existing or occurring during the same
time (as during a year, decade, or longer span of time)."
 
An attorney in our office has asked me to see if later editions of the
this dictionary offer the same, somewhat expansive, definition of this
word. Does anyone have a recent edition? Has the definition changed
since 1966?
 
Thanks,
