It just allows us to use a -CURRENT manual page at same time with -STABLE one. I added the 'current' attribute, it can be used without a form like &man.current.foo.1;, but when the page becomes stable, the attribute have to be removed. It is just for "a little use". I don't know if it's good or not to know if a manpage is current or not just in reading the entity name...
