Thank for pointing this out, but I already knew that.

What CVS do not give is the difference between the current english
version of the document and the version which was used to write this
translation.

Maybe it would just be enough to write down the revision number or the
orginal document in the translated document.

To this end, it would be useful to include '$Revision$' keywords in
documents, within an appropriate environment. I think '$Name$' keywords
would also make it easier to navigate through the documentation
hierarchy.

So, is it okay?
