This seems like a good idea for the authors, but might provide a 
less-than-reasonable interface for the users/readers of these docs.  I had 
been looking forward to the time when we have all the docs on line in HTML 
form and build a glimpse index of them.  Distributing the docs is going 
require that we use a significantly more advanced system than the freely 
available things like glimpse (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong!) and probably 
result in little or no indexing at all.

We are making progress here.  I'd hate to have it stop at getting a table of 
contents.  I want a global text search of ALL the docs... it would make life
ALOT easier for all of us poor saps that have to find that one sentence that
defines some parameter in an index or appendix of some seemingly unrelated 
publication.

If anyone ever tells you "it is in the doc", you would be able to find the 
exact line of text with a keyword and one mouse click!
