Yes; PEP 208 should be self-contained.

PEP 208 is in a severely broken state. This is the full content of
pep-0208.txt:
====================================
PEP: 208
Title: Reworking the Coercion Model
Version: $Revision: 1.1 $
Owner: davida@activestate.com (David Ascher)
Python-Version: 2.1
Status: Incomplete
Local Variables:
mode: indented-text
indent-tabs-mode: nil
End:
====================================
No change has been checked in since this original skeleton was added in the
middle of July. So I guess somebody has been uploading damaged HTML for 208
without going thru CVS and the HTML generation process. Nothing Barry or
Jeremy can do about that: somebody has to update the .txt file.

Guido will eventually chime in on the coercions patch, but is on vacation
until next Monday (however, AFAIK, he didn't release anything first <wink>).
I'll chime in too, but am almost in the same boat.
