Odd preview terms in public datalink vocabulary?

[Patrick Dowler]

The vocabulary doc at that URL is an old (draft) one and I have tried
several times to work with web site maintainer to fix this and expose
the right one (only). That has not been successful.

The ~current vocabulary is at

http://www.ivoa.net/rdf/datalink/core/2014-10-30/

but the .htaccess magic to pick the latest version from

http://www.ivoa.net/rdf/datalink/core

isn't working. The old doc should be deleted and the 2014-10-30 one is
the first correct one. I think the .htaccess magic is probably clever
but not the right way to go; I would probably go with something that
requires no server-side magic at all. I could do that in an hour or so
and was going to once the basic site maintainence was  done (remove
the wrong doc).
