I absolutely agree. Quite often, I save a snippet on disk to have it available online, only to stumble upon it a few weeks/months later. Of course, at that time, I have no idea any more about the lilypond version needed for the snippet (and at that time, the LSR page will not help, either). If I'm online, I can search the LSR again, but if I'm on a train or otherwise offline, I have no way to get a correct version of the snippet. Furthermore, I really think it's counterproductive to tell everyone that each lilypond file should have a \version statement (even the guide on minimal examples says that a \version statement should always be included!), while the "official" source of examples does exactly the opposite!
