The way that I understand section 1.2 of http://www.ivoa.net/documents/DocStd/20100413/REC-DocStd-1.2.pdf - the 1.x number refers to the version of the underlying protocol so for simple typographic style changes that do not change the intended functionality of the described protocol/model etc., the “1.x number” part of the document does not change, but merely the date. In this way there are none of the consequent issues that you outlined.

Ironically REC-DocStd-1.2.pdf does not follow its own recommendation, but for instance http://www.ivoa.net/documents/VODataService/20101202/REC-VODataService-1.1-20101202.pdf does  by formally including the date as part of the document file name.

Cheers,
