Right.  The equivalent functionality is already implemented for the
html-conversion case (http://tools.ietf.org/html/) where you can
do exactly what you describe (except it fails to correctly choose
between draft-ietf-pwe3-satop and draft-ietf-pwe3-satop-mib - this
is a bug I'll have a look at later).

You can try out

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pwe3-tdmoip

or for the plaintext document,

  http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-pwe3-tdmoip

and it will do the right thing, and get you the latest version.
  

I'll add this to the PDF conversion tool too, but I'll try to do it
as a general mechanism, so you won't see it in place tonight.

I'll also add cross-links between the different formats, providing
a link from the html format of a document to the PDF format, but
that's a little bit further down on the TODO list currently.


Regards,

	Henrik
