Not sure about policies etc in my opinion one the least confusing ways  
of doing it is to keep copies of official manuals in folders marked  
with the version number... like python does
http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.4/lib/lib.html
Then the documentation reader *always* knows at a glance they are/ 
aren't reading the documentation for the version they want.
Just my $0.02AUD
Does that work with what the board and/or documentation direction is?
