OK, this is beginning to converge. 1) If the ‘latest version’ link is other than the current document, display the floater, inviting the reader to see the latest version? — what if the latest version has significantly different maturity? i.e. you are looking at PR of 1.0, there is a PR of 2.0 but the latest is a WD of 2.1. Which does the user want? 2) If there isn’t a ‘latest version’ link, allow anyone to ask that such be added, in the case the automatic system missed it. E.g. add to WCAG 1.0 a latest version to 2.0? I realize #2 is manual, but what else do we have? > On Mar 26, 2015, at 5:48 , Janina Sajka <janina@rednote.net> wrote: > > Absolutely.
