The job of the current draft is to be sufficient to its purpose.  Its 
purpose is to augment a base document with a specific revision.

An update segment document does not typically have the purpose of 
including extensive annotations for possible later use, attempting to 
anticipate or hypothesize later editing efforts, to revise the base 
document.
