How that is accomplished is up to you :) The link in version in the CVS repository that claims to link to the latest version can't ever point to the latest version, sadly. This is because the W3C's publication rules require the "Latest Version" link to point to the /TR/ page without a date, and the /TR/ page is always going to be older than the CVS version. (I could change the CVS version so that it doesn't match the publication rules, but then it would be a pain for all involved every time we published the spec.) (If you just want to see the spec without the broken "latest version" link, you can look at the WHATWG version (http://whatwg.org/html5) -- it's identical byte-for-byte from the table of contents to the bottom.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
