From looking at includes.sgml it looks like something like this has been attempted (see a.latest.ann and a.latest.not entities), but died off (the aforementioned entities still point to 3.4!). Attached is a patch to resurrect this idea. It goes further by making a rel.current entity and defining a.latest.ann, a.latest.not, and a.latest.errata in terms of it. It also changes various files that refer to 4.3 explicitly to use the new entity. I think doing it this way will ease the work for whoever is updating everything when a new release comes out (probably jkh). It's still not as simple as changing the numbers in the entity definition--particularly, releases/index.sgml will still need to be updated manually--but I think it goes a long way. At the very least it will avoid horribly stale links (as I said, a.latest.ann points to 3.4 right now, and it *is* used). Any objections to me committing this some time this week?
