In my work, things like standard plans, timetables and rule books are often 
done that way. 

When you have a big book that is frequently revised, and is in the hands of 
many people, it makes sense, because the cost of sending everyone a complete 
new book is much more than the cost of keeping page-by-page revision info.

The big downside is that there must be absolute discipline in keeping the 
books up to-date. An old timetable can be worse than none at all. 

But in the amateur radio market, the revisions are few and the numbers small. 
Keeping track of updates is a lot of administrative work. 

It seems to me that having the manuals and revisions on the website is the 
best way to go. That way, anyone can see them.
