This doesn't appear to be the case. Indeed there is a "snapshot"
version under

  http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/

but, in addition, all the recent releases can also be found under

  http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/


For example, version 1.59.1 is pointed to by the URL

  http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.59.1/

and so I don't see your point. Am I missing something here??


Hence, the URLs for recent docbook-xsl versions are persistent.

Thanks, and feel free to argue/clarify...

Cheers,
Mark
