      It ACTUALLY never changes. Even if it’s Amended, the Amendment is an addition, nothing gets removed.

      See: Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3:

      “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.”

      Because not all documents are immutable and it doesn’t make sense to have a one off system. It is the same reason that most websites use the same CMS system for the “about us” page that might change one every two years as well as every single article and calendar.

      But also… having an immutable document also feels like one of the best unit/sniff tests you can have.

      Yes, the correct way to display a short simple document like this is plain html with bog-standard structure and indexing/metatext markup plus device and accessibility targeted css. That is it. Any scripts or references should fail fully gracefully back to web 1.0.

      This came up in the thread last night. Why would you dynamically load content that, practically, never changes?

      I would not be surprised if some 20 year old “vibe coder” touched it, since they don’t know shit about computers they made bad choices.
