Since we are using Subversion, we could simply tag the published
revisions. Then we'd always know which revision our published editions
are based on.

Multiple spaces should be irrelevant because HTML and LaTeX both
"compress" multiple spaces to a single space.

I've been wondering lately whether we are actually allowed to take any
changes from the Mongoose editions. We probably do not have the right to
publish the Mongoose editions. I think it's okay to mention the Mongoose
solutions in the footnotes (if we think they are worth mentioning). But
I'm dubious about making our text identical to the one from the Mongoose
editions.
