Re: Some thoughts on a new publication approach

Not really publication, but more post-publication, managing the future past.

Very often people complained about the facts that implementers were having access to old versions of a specification. Something else that could be done. 

Linkable doesn't mean indexable.
So when version N is published, it could be possible to add version N-1 in robots.txt. such as 

User-agent: *
Disallow: /TR/2013/10/shortname-blah 


It creates a bit more opacity on the older versions, still accessible through links (previous), but less findable through search engines.
