Description C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2008-03-04 22:49:03 UTC 
(Editorial)

In both SML and SML-IF, the Last-Call drafts have a link labeled
'Previous Version', which however does not point to the previous
version of either spec; in both cases, it points to the draft of last August,
skipping the drafts of September and January.

Two things should be done, I think.  (1) The editors' copies should be
updated now (while you think about it) to point at the correct most-recent
version (i.e. the editors' source should now point at the Last Call drafts).
And (2) something in the editorial production system needs to be updated to
help prevent a recurrence of the problem.  (A checklist of things to do for
a publication is a good idea, and a good place for such a reminder.)

Optionally, the editors and/or WG might choose to link not just to the
single most recent draft, but to several.

Fix as per MSM comments 1 and 2. Resolved in 3/13 call
Comment 2 Kumar Pandit 2008-06-11 04:23:15 UTC 
Fixed the 'previous version' links to point to Last Call drafts. The process of fixing prev-version links cannot be automated. I will manually check it before publishing the next draft.
