Hi And in 10-20 years this information will be about as useful as old links on so many webpages (web pages, web-pages, Web pages, ...). I'm not sure how to avoid this problem, but I do wonder whether we should really be referencing such transient documents? Not only might they disappear, of course, but they could be edited in numerous unknown ways, which could affect their relevance to whatever point is being made in the citing paper.
