RE: Living documents?

IMO, a living document is one that changes constantly. I guess that
makes a doc that is only changed occasionally on life support.

Bingo -- thanks for proving my point. To be a "living document," must it
constantly change, or does it merely need to get used a lot? Not every
company would agree on this.

Poetry thrives on ambiguity. Tech writing chokes on it.
