RCS $Id$ on doco
Has this ever been considered, a la NetBSD website pages?
I'd personally find it useful, anyone else?

Agreed. The author of the last change is pretty unimportant.

Well, who says they need to see it? Just stick it in a comment.
I honestly don't care too much either way - I usually have them in my
other projects as a convenience.

If you're talking about including the RCS ids invisibly, e.g. embedded
in HTML comments, I'm +/-0 on this; everything else whould be too much
IMO. But, to be honest, I also don't see any benefit from this.

I'd tend to agree. I don't see a big benefit from this. Although, I also
don't see a big loss, so I wouldn't object too strongly if others
supported it.

So, to ask again, what does this gain us? The author (or who touched it
last) is not particularly important, and the revision number will not be
useful to most of our readers.
I think perhaps that we need to do stuff for the convenience of the
majority of our readers, not for the few developers.

Quickly identifying lastmod time, the author, and revision. To see if
served pages are synced to httpd-site, and without having to walk through
viewcvs for any of the above.

I thought it was in there, but in comments. Alas, I was wrong. I think
it was at some point, but I don't remember for sure now.
