Oh, it's really not complicated at all -- what seems to be the
problem?  I've set it up in literally minutes for the four VOResource
vocabularies on my own box at http://docs.g-vo.org/vocab-test, and
it's implemented straightforwardly in the software for the vocabulary
management,
http://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/registry/VOResource/terms/
(convert.py, vocabs.conf).

I think it's actually the sanest way to make sure usual clients use
the latest version of some resource while special software actually
caring about these details can use (and figure out what they use)
strictly versioned files.  I am actually pretty sure it's the only
way we can sensibly pull off the new schema versioning scheme
(http://ivoa.net/documents/Notes/XMLVers/index.html -- still in RFC,
still waiting for comments from the public and one WG).

Let's fix whatever's broken with the vocabulary -- I volunteer to
work out what's wrong.  Are people with the necessary privileges on
ivoa.net in Shanghai?
