I changed a while back  the extensions page to point to the correct page ...
http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/Extensions
that is pointing to 
http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/Extensions/Geo/1.0/Draft_2
and I also added a notice on the draft_1 page pointing to the new version  
but you're right and the front page points to draft 1 and most surely people miss my sentence ... 

unfortunately it seems that I don't have the rights to change the opensearch.org front page - that seems logic :) 
does anyone can edit that page and change it ? or knows who should we contact ?  .. Jo ?

I'm doing a new revision of that document and I'll post it to the ogc pending document (on time for the 3 week rule of the next Bonn TC) and also send it to this list tomorrow  

It adds more examples with OGC returnables elements and also it aligns it with OGC Modular Specification document (by defining requirements and the like in OGC parlance)
