I find it incredible in this day and age that people feel the need to have a table near the beginning of a document with a column for Sign Off! Since we first started writing Word (or other) documents, I have never gone to the network drive, opened a file and seen a signature in one- EVER! Even if the document is formally signed it is very rarely scanned back in and kept safely. Why do we bother? Who are we kidding? it's simply an old fashioned notion that we need to get over.

- Version Control - which sould be happening in the meta-data or Document management systems, even better Configuration management systems.
- Glossary - this should be in one central place somewhere that is referred to outside of the document using a URL to the Business Glossary or the Enterprise Architecture itself that defines the Business Architecture. I guess that depends on whether the document is supposed to stand alone or not - most people assume it does but these days that is questionable too with Internet and VPNs possible from virtually everywhere.
- References - Same as above. URL to the source information.
- Contributors - Same as above. URL to the Project source information or website.
- Distribution - Same as above. URL to the Project source information or website.
In fact the only thing left is the Table of Contents and I like that because it gives a structral context.
