Website stuff belongs on www@, but I usually submit stuff to both, as
there seems to be a very small number of doc committers active on www@
(which shouldn't be the case).

I have occassionally wondered about those, but have always assumed that
these were due to validation errors (for which, see #3).  If they are for
other reasons, they are probably worth fixing.

I worked on this some time ago, but the work was greeted with some
indifference.  See the posting at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=3Dfreebsd-doc&m=3D104955591810574&w=3D2 for
some vague details, although I am sure I have posted other patches
since then.

Let us know what form your patches would take, and we'll take it from
there.  Personally, I think that having webpages that validate should be
an important goal, and also having pages that are Bobby compliant should be
a long term goal (http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp).  This
is something that I have toyed with in a local tree, although the patches a=
re
far from anything other than concept.
