That's not my reading at all. This section explains clearly the
problem with Web pages:
Web pages, which can be changed without notice, provide very
little ability to track changes, and have no formal standing --
confusion is often seen about who has the right to update them,
what the process for updating them is, and so on. It is hard when
looking at a Web page to see whether this is a current procedure,
a procedure introduced and abandoned, or a draft of a future
procedure.
...
o Unlike Web pages, there is an explicit mechanism for finding "all
current versions", and a mechanism for tracking the history of a
document.
