First, a couple questions and then hopefully some suggestions. :)

By "tagging" do you mean creating a taxonomy drop-down for book content where
you can select a version number as you're creating/editing a page? Or is there
some other mechanism I'm not aware of for tagging that exists?

Then my other question is, how do users continue to find "old" documentation?
When I as an anonymous user go to node/######/revisions, I get an "Access
Denied" error. Or will we have three handbooks, "Drupal 4.6," "Drupal 4.7," and
"older stuff" (hope not, I could see all kinds of problems here)? Or will there
be a block on the side that will provide links for people to switch between 4.7
and 4.6 tagged documentation, if they exist?
