Yes, but then (a) the "fifth edition" is part of the title, and in any case
(b) the date of publication, which is mentioned in the reference, is
different (for the XML example: 2008-02-05 for the fifth edition, rather
than 2006-09-29 for the fourth one). And further, there is also a hyper link
to the cited version of the document.

But as I said, I have no problem with adding the additional information.
Just let's have a common policy, in order to reduce creativity. :)

Cheers,
