There should be a fixed (dedicated) location for externally visible 
documents of course. Alfresco is a content management system, so I'm 
sure it allows such a setup.

Of course it has to be made sure that the links work properly, but 
that's true for all (external) links, that they have to be kept actual - 
all the time. So the names have to be chosen carefully, and maybe some 
kind of automated link check could be implemented.

Yes, avoiding duplication and allowing identical names for different 
documents was the main reason for this suggestion. But however - it's 
just a suggestion, which we have to consider the pros and cons of.
