OK, I'm on the same page you are.
I hadn't considered the identifier format as part of your common approach to
versioning documents. I agree that all new documents should contain an
editor, date issued, identifier, previous version, latest version, status of
document and description of document.
If we are also going to require all new documents to have a common
identifier format we may want to consider another approach to the
date-seperated directory format
(http://dublincore.org/foobar/xxxx/xx/xx/yyyyyyy/) used for the namespace
doc. We publish so few docs that they will be scattered about with this
approach, not to mention using an excessive number of inodes for each
document.

I don't know where this belongs either but have moved it to architecture.
Seems a better fit there. Hope you don't mind.
