Many open Web standards managed by some W3C working groups have shifted to the Living Standard model, see WHAT WG compared to a more easily trackable yearly release like the TC39 from ECMA.

Interesting. I think you have a different kind of "living documentation" in mind that I have.

I thought about it in terms of documentation generated from software code. I should have defined that.

Anyway: I will have a look at the links. I am working for a standards body as well (the OMG), and I was not aware of the "Living Standard" model. Thank you for providing the links.
