The NISO site seems to have duplicate records for the JATS specification, and
I'm wondering if anyone on this list can explain it:

*
http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/document.php?document_id=8977&wg_abbrev
=jats-sc - uses document ID 8977, and explicitly says "version 1.0", and
*
http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/document.php?document_id=10591&wg_abbre
v=jats-sc - uses document ID 10591, and doesn't give a version number

The latter one has all the public comments.  Is it supposed to mean that the
latter one is an "evolving document"?  If so, it doesn't say that anywhere.
The attached PDFs are identical, but one wouldn't know that without comparing
them.

I'm concerned that there are two "official landing pages" for the same
document, as it seems that it could be a source of confusion.
