I had wondered that too, especially if these date-separated directories are scattered around the directory tree -- eg, under Usage, then under each working group separately...! I don't have a strong opinion about which methods to use as long as a generic "most recent version" URI is always linked to a frozen, time-stamped URI and this linkage is indicated in the metadata. If possible, it would seem sensible to follow whatever method W3C uses instead of reinventing something DCMI-specific.

Hope you don't mind. No, that's fine -- it does seem more like an Architecture issue.
