Sounds good.  In my reply (a few minutes ago) to your other email, I offer
to host a branch.  The branch approach sounds good to me.

There are only a few references to version 1.  I can create a patch to change
them to version 2 (other than the version of the document itself).

If we are working on a branch, it should not make a big difference when the
internal uses of "version 1" are changed to "version 2".  If I do it right
away then it won't get overlooked.
