I think that we could just use the URLs I am mentioning here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20181227064958.GK2106@paquier.xyz

I haven't been able to finish what I wanted for the proposed patch set
yet, but what I was thinking about is to include:
1) The root URL where all the release folders are present
2) The full URL of the current Latin-ASCII.xml being used for the
generation, not as a URL pointing to the latest version, but as a URL
pointing to an exact version in time (I doubt that a released version
never changes in this tree, but who knows..).
3) The version used to generate the rules.
