Denis, at the moment, we have the short name `/epub` in use: [1] points at the EPUB 3.3 recommendation[2]. AFAIK, this URL is sucht is equivalent to[3], and it would point at EPUB 3.3. until the EPUB 3.4 line reaches candidate recommendation (we are busy putting in a FPWD for EPUB 4.4[4]). Would it be possible to change the behavior of `/latest` so that it would point at 3.4 only when it reaches Recommendation status? The publishing community is different from the core community, and getting to a non-standard version would throw them off-balance. Also, we are also requesting an approval for the `epub3` and `epub-3` short names, as having (as of today) the same behavior as `epub` (but, if in the future there is work for EPUB 4, then it would stick to the epub 3 line). Is this possible?
