Two suggestions/comments:

1) First, after thinking about it over night, I think the property should only 
have one value and that's the (minimum) build number to which the documentation 
applies.  This would make things very simple and easier to maintain.

2) Second, I think Craig raises a much more fundamental question which is where 
the "truth" for "developer" documentation should live, on flexwiki.com or under 
version control.  I have to admin that I have a strong initial reaction to the 
idea that the source of truth should be the version control system.  That would 
mean, as Craig said, that the documentation could only be changed by developers 
on the project.  Maybe we haven't defined what types of pages we're actually 
talking about here, but that seems like a big problem because it excludes 
people who are not developers on the project improving the documentation with 
examples, better explanations, links to related topics, etc.  Even worse, the 
side effect of that is to increase the responsibilities of our very strapped 
dev team of today ;-)  I'll admit that this is just my first knee-jerk, so 
perhaps someone can help me think about this differently.  What the problem 
that keeping the "documentation" pages in SVN would solv
 e?  And what do we mean by "documentation" pages?
