should we (briefly) mention the GFDL at the foot of printable versions?

I think the GFDL needs to be mentioned, and it would also be nice to show the stable URL http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus-Naur_Form rather than the internal one given above.

Another issue is whether we should have a stable URL that goes to _that particular_ revision. This is something people have requested for purposes of citing Wikipedia articles in bibliographies, etc, where part of the point is that people can check your citations to see if you quoted or interpreted them accurately.

I think we'll want static-looking URLs for citable revisions, so I'd suggest:
http://www.wikipedia.org/cite/20021215024500/Backus-Naur_Form
which gets redirected to
.../oldrev.phtml?title=Backus-Naur_Form&time=20021215024500
That shouldn't be too hard to implement.
