I noticed that there are several references to the current version
sprinkled throughout. It would be nice if we could make those a
variable "%CURRENT%" and have the html build process insert the number.

The svn messages are immutable, which makes it difficult to maintain a
readable history. What I wanted for "is M::B META 1.4 compliant" is a
list of the changes which added keys and whether any of them were
required.
What about keeping a HISTORY file next to it and rolling that into the
html build process?
