ODRL "Latest Version" URLs

We have tested two URL redirection plugins and they work ok - except that WordPress has a funny quirk in that it uses numeric digits after a “/“ for some internal purposes.

That is, if you go to:
   http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/xml/2.1/300 <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/xml/2.1/300>
You still get to the XML spec…

This means we cannot have “Latest Version” URLs like:
  http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/model/2/ <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/model/2/>
as it simply goes to the parent model page
(and the URL redirector does not intercept these requests)

One solution is to reuse our original (V2.0) URLs as the Latest Version URLs:
  http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/model/ <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/model/>
  http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/vocab/ <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/vocab/>

And move the current 2.0 specs to new URLs:
 http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/model/2.0/ <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/model/2.0/>
 http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/vocab/2.0/ <http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/vocab/2.0/>

Any other suggestions?

Cheers...
