[ReSpec] dated versions of works in progress

Should the ReSpec bibliography file contain multiple dated versions of 
continually evolving documents (e.g. editor's drafts)?

If my specification is based on HTML5 as it was on 2 January 2010, 
someone else's reference might be another date, and so on. We might end 
up with dozens of versions in the database.

I would therefore like to suggest that we remove dates from the works in 
progress in the bibliography. That should work unless a document refers 
to a specific feature of the work in progress, that was later removed 
(meaning that the reference is non-normative). In that case only adding 
a dated bibliography entry should be allowed.

Does that work?

Max.
