Exactly, remember you have two issues here.
1. Managing/tracking documentation to ensure it is accurate etc etc.
2. Users using the documentation for their needs.
Ultimately users want to be provided with the documentation they need to 
do their allotted tasks. If you are giving them what information they 
need, and managing that, then do they need to see draft/version/doc 
numbers? Some times no, some times yes.

As a documentation manager, you need to know what is going where, 
where/when it is at, whether it is finished, who is doing what to it, so 
do you need to see draft/version/doc numbers? Most times yes. So finding 
the best compromise for yourself and your users is the aim. Sounds like 
you have found the right track.

Warren.
