One of the advantages of using Google Sites is that anybody can 
subscribe to page (or whole site) changes, and every time any change is 
made all subscribers will receive an email containing the diff.  With 
google docs automatic emails are only generated from comments.

The other advantage of using Google Sites is that it has a left hand 
navigation.  This allows each page to be much shorter, and makes the 
spec more navigable.  We know from experience that long specifications 
don't get read...

Perhaps there could be a single google site for web apps, and a 
sub-section dedicated to each release that only contains the required 
delta???

cheers,
John
