RE: FW: Chapter 7.3.2 in S1000D Issue 2.3

Lofton,

Thanks, that exactly the kind of answer I've been looking for.  I know
pointing to the "latest version" address is a little tricky in a spec
that is subject to contractual agreement, but I think it's all I can do
for now.  We've known this point was coming and the specs can't wait any
longer. 

 Considering the email from Ian Jacobs earlier today it sounds like the
press release won't go out until the end of January, and I can't wait
that long.

Thx...Dave

Whoa!

1.) That's a member-only URI -- requires W3C member login.

2.) Secondly, it is potentially volatile.  Unlike an address in /TR/, it
is not guaranteed to remain unchanged forever.  It is under CVS control,
but the de-referenced version at that address may change.

What about using the "Latest Version" URI in /TR/:
http://www.w3.org/TR/webcgm20/  ?

Right now, it de-references to the Proposed Rec.  When Rec happens in
January, it will de-reference to REC WebCGM 2.0.  If there is ever an
errata release of 2.0, it would then de-reference to that.  There are
arguments both ways, about whether to de-reference to "latest version"
or a dated version, although the latter is considered by some to be more
orderly from a conformance perspective.

Alternately, you could point to the OASIS /CS2/ version.  That is
guaranteed by OASIS process to be identical to the OS version except for
cover page status.  Or ... you could point to the anticipated OS address
(I can tell you what I think it will be, and/or negotiate it with Mary)
-- that address is not date-sensitive, only "status sensitive" (it will
reflect OS instead of CS2).  We know now that we have exceeded 15% and
OS should be assured.
