Absolutely.  I think first I'll just try to get it committed so at least
we can be referring people to it.  After that I think we'll find things
to tweak up in it, too.

As has been discussed (possibly off-list) there's stuff in the PH that
isn't technical and that stuff needs to go "somewhere" and then everything
get cross-referenced.
