Hi Wang,

Thanks for the report, but I don't think there is any real problem here.

    3,  amsldoc.pdf in texlive can use hyperlinks but there are no
    hyperlinks in the file downloaded form ftp.ams.org.

Indeed.  Heiko Oberdiek puts in significant effort to rebuild the
documentation files with hyperlinks and other such things (while not
changing the content), as part of his latex-tds project.  Thus, it's
expected that the PDF files in TL will differ from the AMS's.

    http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/amsmath/amsldoc.pdf,

In any event, that url points to the current TeX Live official release,
so it will not change until 2011 even if AMS files are updated in the
meantime.

Best,
Karl
