granted.  But it is not very realistic that the contents will remain
completely unchanged during the review and RFC process.  An example 
of a document which has changed content without changing version 
number is ADQL 2.0; the PR and REC versions on the IVOA web site:

    http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/cover/ADQL-20080430.html
    http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/cover/ADQL-20081030.html

differ significantly (I can't present here a detailed list of the 
differences, but for instance one has 4 more pages than the other 
and the section numbering has a different structure).
