At the moment, the primer makes references to the metadata vocabulary using the absolute URL to the short name. E.g., https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-metadata/#top-level-properties. However, this incurs the danger that if, in the future, a new revision of the metadata vocabulary comes around, and the anchor names change, then the links become dangling.

I believe all those references should be to the dated URL. Two ways to do that

  • global change to the dated URL
  • use the editors' draft reference and rely on our automatic mechanism to generate dated URLs when HTML is generated from respec

I would propose to do the second alternative. (I did not want to do it while reviewing the document without asking first...)
