What about an auto-script for /docs/* that says (lets use the
example of /docs/mod/directives.html)

The httpd docs project team has split the information for your
convenience between the following versions, please indicate
which version you are using;

  Apache httpd 1.3      /docs-1.3/mod/directives.html
  Apache httpd 2.0      /docs-2.0/mod/directives.html
  Apache httpd 2.1-dev  /docs-2.2/mod/directives.html

You can update your bookmarks according.

... Another option would also be, add a checkbox for a doc cookie,
'Always choose this version', which would bypass this page and 
always redirect that browser to the right section.
