It _is_ the source format if I understand you correctly.  Not merely
close.  So the principal question is how to get it into our
documentation in a useful manner.  The text-editing thing might provide
some pointers.

Thanks.  It turns out that speaking up only when you have some
improvement to suggest amounts to the maxim "if you cannot say anything
bad, don't say anything at all" which somewhat surprisingly does not
result in overwhelming popularity.  Though it appears to work for
becoming president.

At any rate, it seems I apparently need to add some redundancy or I'll
never get anywhere without losing all company on the way.
