"this version" link on manual of style should be "latest version"

I just realized that the label on the title
page of the manual is misleading:

"This version:
        http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual "

Elsewhere in W3C[1], "this version" indicates a URI
where you can get the dated version you're looking at,
even after the latest version of the document is revised.

But http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual is updated
in place; it's a "latest version" URI.


[1] section "Document Identifiers" of pubrules,
which doesn't seem to have a handy fragment to refer to.
http://www.w3.org/2005/07/pubrules?uimode=filter&uri=

It's not very explicit about what "this version" means.

I also looked at "Version Management in W3C Technical Reports"
http://www.w3.org/2005/05/tr-versions

but it mostly discusses "latest version" rather than "this version".


The TAG has a possibly-relevant finding in progress...
ironically, it features the same mis-labelling...
