Hi Katie, I note that your this version and latest version URIs are the same, which seems problematic to me. I recommend following the standard W3C conventions for URIs to documents: "This version": <path>/STATUS-shortname-YYYYMMDD "Latest version": <path>/shortname In this case, since these are WCAG Techniques, I suggest that the shortname be consistent with previous ones: WCAG10-PDF-FECHS If this is not a Techniques document for WCAG 1.0, then the initial string should be rethought (e.g., "WCAG" or "WCAG20"). If you intend the WCAG WG version to always be under /GL/2000/12, that's fine. The latest version would be: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2000/12/WCAG10-PDF-TECHS and this version: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2000/12/WD-WCAG10-PDF-TECHS-20010116 I realize that these URIs are kind of long. The short name (WCAG10-PDF-TECHS) might be negotiated. Or, make the latest version URI something like: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG10-PDF-TECHS (which is the convention used for the other WCAG 1.0 techniques documents published for the WG). Don't change the current document, whose URI you've already published. Instead, I recommend starting with the above conventions (and your favorite short name) starting with the next draft.
