So I see.  Problem with assuming that the URL seen here:

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.18/documents

Would work off the higher level.

The nice page listed above gives a nice user interface into a group's

maintain the by year orientation of wg/dcn/yr/.

So what are they doing there?  Well I am going to ask the group that 
maintains the local replication.  Though they use WebDev, but they may 
have some insight for me.  But if you see anything from the user page, 
please tell me....
