We should probably start by forking your repository and hosting it on https://github.com/tc39/ so it can be maintained as part of the official TC39 tool suite. The other big thing we need to accomplish in the near future is to have an "official" html version that can be released as http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6/index.html (I may be able to get Ecma to change the last node from "6" to "2015") (See for example http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/ and also see http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm and http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262-arch.htm ) > >>> Each time a new revision is published, some manual steps are required >>> to map broken links to the right sections in the new document. >> >> Do you mean that old 'es6-draft.html' URLs should resolve to the >> corresponding section in the HTML version of the latest ES7+ draft?

I could probably come up with a way to include permanent ids in section headings as Word invisible fields. It would be a little more work for spec. editors (and somewhat bug prone: forgetting to include one, forgetting to change the id when copying a heading, etc) but would eliminate the need to maintain an external map.
