That helps quite a bit for understanding the CSS case, but shows another problem. The page essentially says that the Last Call published on 2007-12-21 is retired, which I'd assume is correct, but it leaves the First Public Draft of 2003-07-15 above the Retired heading, which would imply that it's still active. I don't know the specifics of that draft, but I'd bet that the First Public Draft isn't active either. So in terms of semantics, I'd assume that in most cases, if a document is retired, then all the older versions should also be show under retired; indeed 'retired', while executed on a specific draft, should be a property of the whole series, or should at least be shown as such. So there seems to be more work necessary than just hiding the 'retired' header when there's nothing listed under it. Regards, Martin.
