This is fatal - I use $Id$ all the time.  We have some very large
specification documents that we control using CVS, and it is critical
when we read them that we know what version they are.  We do the LaTeX
equivalent of "set header to $Id$", and then all our documents are
versioned.

Having the version anywhere else but in the document itself would be
wrong, because they could get out of sync.
