Thanks, Rich!

I still think that marking the version information for in-development
documentation would be very helpful.

Surely we want people to be able to comment on this documentation in
ways that make it clear what version they are commenting on, so the
writer can easily tell if the issue has already been addressed, etc.

It seems that every other way we have of delivering content to people,
we make it clear what the version is, via command line options, dpkg -l,
wiki reversion info, etc.

So why not mark version information when we make documentation easily
available for comment?

I think this is not a tiny issue - see also e.g. 
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/122297
Server Guide draft has higher Google rank than released version.

This is also true for the stuff at help.ubuntu.com.  At least that says
what release it is for, but not anything that would tell a user or
documentation volunteer easily whether or not an update had been
deployed, or where to find the source code for exactly what they are
looking at.

Is it hard to add some version information or a link to get it?
If someone wanted to submit a patch to resolve this, what would need patching 
and where is the source for it?

Thanks,
