An Old Note...

Philippe,

I need some advice please wrt to a Note published way back that has now 
been superseded. The old Note is at 
https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-odrl-20020919/ with a short URL of 
https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl/.

The updated doc is at https://www.w3.org/TR/odrl-model/ (i.e. a 
different short URL).

I think it's worth indicating the existence of the new doc at the old 
URL. What we probably *should* have done is record the 2002 doc as a 
previous version when the new WG published its FPWD [2] but, well, we 
didn't and hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The new docs do refer to the old one in the prose.

I see two ways forward:

1. Simply edit https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-odrl-20020919/ to say 
that a more up to date version of ODRL is available at /TR/odrl-model/

2. The WG publishes a new doc, with a modern date, completely unchanged 
except that it includes that info about the new doc being available.

1 is simpler, 2 is more in keeping with our practice.

Of course you may have an option 3.

FYI, the WG is getting ready to seek transition to CR for the new docs, 
following their F2F meeting in May.

Thanks

Phil
