One major problem when citing XEPs is that they are often cited using links to the living, that is mutable, version of the XEP. For example: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0123.html
However, we really want people to be able to cite an immutable document. Luckily, we have the
attic/
where we keep immutable versioned XEPs that can be referenced.This PR changes the XSL so that the immutable versioned XEP URL is used for the generated biblatex entry.
However, it is unfortunately not read yet. Primarily because we do not seem to keep a immutable versioned variant of the latest version of a XEP. If we could change the editor workflow to also create a versioned XEP in
attic/
for the latest version of the XEP, then this could be merged.That said, purely for aesthetic reasons I would prefer to not have the term
attic
in the part of the URL. Maybe we can change this toversioned
(or something else)?
