I see the problem.  You're not of BSD and I was thinking you were.  I'm 
guessing Marc is catching on right now.   To me, "current" means the
docs that correspond to the current (or development) code.  The release
I refer to is either stable or (more appropriately) "release" docs.

Either way, I think I have things figured out now.
