I suggested a few weeks ago adding a drop down menu for other version of the
manual for a page. I have not had time to write a patch, but I think it is
something that MySQL does better that pg.

As an example take a look at the page on select for MySQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/select.html .

If you want a earlier or later version they are easily accessible via a link
on the left.
