Hello all,

I'm looking at the XDG Base Directory Specification and it seems there's at 
least two copies of it in circulation:

* https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.8.html
* https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

The first one has "0.8" in the filename, but both versions are marked "0.7" 
inside the document, which is rather confusing.

The only substantial difference is in this statement:

> All paths set in these environment variables must be absolute. If an 
> implementation encounters a relative path in any of these variables it should 
> consider the path invalid and ignore it.

It is present in "0.8.html" but absent in "latest.html".  Would someone be able 
to clarify which one is canonical?

Thank you,
Phil
