I absolutely agree. Quite often, I save a snippet on disk to have it available 
online, only to stumble upon it a few weeks/months later. Of course, at that 
time, I have no idea any more about the lilypond version needed for the 
snippet (and at that time, the LSR page will not help, either). If I'm 
online, I can search the LSR again, but if I'm on a train or otherwise 
offline, I have no way to get a correct version of the snippet.

Furthermore, I really think it's counterproductive to tell everyone that each 
lilypond file should have a \version statement (even the guide on minimal 
examples says that a \version statement should always be included!), while 
the "official" source of examples does exactly the opposite!

Cheers,
Reinhold
