Hi Ed, Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, a few documents on /TR are now obsolete but still appear in the top results of the different search engines. We are currently exploring different solutions to solve that SEO issue but as you probably know, it's not an easy task and we are still looking for the best way to help the users find the latest version of our specifications.
