Again, which one? The one from November 14, 2017, the one from December 14, 2017 or the one from January 14, 2018?

Do you really want to make a requirements document that describes something different at the day you sign it and at the day you deliver?




Sorry, but you can't print that page and use that forever. I understand that you wish that you could, but you can't. I live in the real world, so rather than reading a snapshot and hoping it stays that way forever, I just read the up-to-date version since that's what is implemented by browsers, not the PDF I saved 3 months ago.


It is a strong liability in a project contract if the standard with respect to which you implement the code changes under your feet.


Given that the browsers with respect to which you implement the code change under your feet every 6 weeks, I think it's better the standard keeps pace with them than having it give a misleading impression of what you're developing against.
