Something to think about as far as these issues (WotC adding content to the SRD and invalidating products) ... from what everyone tells me, about 95% of all sales for OGL/D20 books happens in the first three months. There are some notable exceptions (M&M coming to mind) but most of the time the sales drop to a crawl.

So why not use that you your advantage? Sure WotC will come out with a monk, an druid ... and by that point you will have made your book and will be on to other projects. Just a thought, from a sort of "Law of Unintended Consequences" perspective.
