Looks like I was wrong here:  section 4J of the FDL *requires* giving the 
network location of previous versions of the document, so they would have to 
link back to the original text.  I think the Wikipedia:Copyrights page could 
do with changing to make that clearer.

Also note section 4K of the GFDL which requires preserving pre existing 
acknowledgements and dedications.
