If we change a referenced specification, then we need to find places which
manually reference it and change those as well (generated references should
pick up the new one from the database relations). An example of this not too
long ago was the C++ standard which was updated; since we want to keep the DB
as a historical record, the current tag changed from being "CXXABI" to
"CXXABI-1.86", while the old one remains in the Standard table as well. After
makefiles were updated, there remained explicit references to CXXABI which
broke the book builds.

A possible solution is to use some 'generic' identifiers in man pages (that
will designate referenced spec without specifying particular version) and teach
spec generators to replace such identifiers with reference corresponding to
version of LSB under generation.
