Oracle 10g Documentation (still reflects HTMLDB 1.6)

Question

Hi Joel (since you usually catch this stuff),
I was just on the documentation site at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/master_index?letter=t and saw that it still reflects the ducumentation from HTMLDB 1.6 (look at the entries for Tabs).
Not sure how or who you coordinate this with in the documentation site, but figured you'd want to know.

Hi Arie,
The site is supposed to have all of the current documention for everything 10gR2 related.
Since Apex v3 is the current version, I'd think that it would contain the current Apex manual entries as well. All of the manuals that are linked to it are for whatever the current versions are of those products, PL/SQL, Spatial, Oracle Text, etc.
It may be complicated by the fact that Apex is updated more frequently than other Oracle products, but I've always used the site to see/reference the current documentation (or syntax) of whatever Oracle product. For older versions, I'll go to tahiti.oracle.com which has links to previous versions of Oracle documentation.
I've been to numerous Oracle classes over the years and the instructors always say to go to tahiti.oracle.com to get the link to the current version of all Oracle documentation, so I figured the link would also get the current version of Apex documentation as well.
It's really useful tracking down the correct (and current) syntax, since it has all Oracle documentation indexed and linked for quick searching. I can't think of any examples right now, but I remember in the past seeing examples of different syntax usage across different Oracle products, probably new products.
