Yes, it should be clear from the output that I presented above.  I
think TextDoc.indent() takes care of the trailing '\n'.

That won't work for maintenance branches. (I am not even sure docs are
built for maintenance branches.)

Certainly. If we are talking about the most authoritative source.  I
don't think versionadded/changed tags are reliable enough and you
don't want to send users to wrong docs when APIs change between
releases.   I am not so sure about micro-version, but there is no easy
way to construct the latest micro-version link without changes on
python.org.  If there was say latest/X.Y, I would use that.  Wait -
there is: docs.python.org/X.Y.  Would you prefer that?
