some issues with emacs manual persistency.
Info Node Persistency
... In emacs 22, there's this node:
(info "(emacs)Transient Mark")
but it does not exit in emacs 23's manual.
Shouldn't the manual nodes be persistant across versions, e.g. providing
redirect when node changed?
As a pratical matter, this means now i have to search my emacs publications
to fix the nodes. A task that's not particularly trivial. This applies to
any publication on emacs that reference to the manual by node.
This is a problem with Python's documentation too. thinking about this,
actually i don't know if there are any manual that:
* (1) Provide a computable reference to the chapter/sections.
* (2) Maintain this on different versions of the manual.
However, since emacs does (1) already, it's easy to do (2) too.

I don't see any prospect of this being implemented. I am closing this
(it was marked "wontfix" some time ago).
