Whether someone wants to do the DSSSL/XSL footwork to implement this sort of versioning or use a Python script is entirely up to them. The notion of "current version" and version ranges just seems much more general than only interesting for operating systems. If I build a large piece of software (say, a programming language), I might want to be able to maintain the documentation for multiple versions. Some text may apply to version <= X, and other text to version > X, but other changes are simply to fix typos or other errors, and are not version specific in any way. If I can then regenerate the formatted documentation for, say, the last three versions, that would certainly be useful for users who aren't upgrading for whatever reason. -Fred -- Fred L.
