I have one suggestion on an added header. I think that an Overrides: 
header should be added. This is for those messages that make a previous 
message obsolete. Say for example that an upgrade guide to modular X was 
posted, but that a critical error was made in it. This was fixed, and to 
make sure that people read the new message, it is not a higher version.

It is however not a good idea to have people then read the old message 
when the new message is there.
