I think what it shows is how annoying the SRD is and how hard it is to update with content from new products.They way they did it for 3E is not optimal from either Wizards' or our standpoint. We want to be able to reference all the new WotC stuff. That helps us help them sell books. But they dont want to have to edit and cut and reformat all the text from each book and jam it in the SRD. That takes time and man-hours of work, which is limited and which tehy can better use working on new books!Which is why I have propesed doing a "smarter" SRD for 4E that essentially updates itself. It would be simple to do. BUT the result is that you would not have a searchable online rule book like you do for 3E (whcih I think is fine. while I love d20srd.org, i dont think that was ever the intent of the srd). I think it it was less of a pain and a time suck to update the srd that it would ahve been updated more.</blockquote>
