I assume that the description above is not actual code, but just the pseudocode for what is being done... Somehow there is (or used to be, and should still be) provision _NOT_ to replace the link rev if it already exists in the document [header..?], and to _ALWAYS_ replace the RCSfile data with current data. If any changes are being made it would be nice to make sure those parts were both placed inside the <HEAD> section of the file if such a section exists, so as to prevent HTML lint tools from alarming, as they do now :-( But I suppose that's a bigger job!
