OK - I remember the conversations. It's a shame though that some of
the archive documents, which are unlikely to undergo further changes,
now don't exist for public access anywhere. How about a region of
the web server at RAL (or JACH if more appropriate) which contains
the full set of documents from the last release in which they all appeared?
This could be labelled "historical" or "out of date" - old links
pointing to them would be broken, but it would still be possible to
google for them.
