OK.

Not at all, please do if you, or others, have the time.

Our (clusteradm@ / mirror-admin@) concern is only that there aren't =
added new mirrors to the list. How the text is generated doesn't matter, =
and if somebody want to improve / expand the text part of the section =
that's also no problem at all (in fact, please do :-) ).

As 9.1 isn't available in CVS I wanted to get the mirror list in sooner =
rather than later, which is another reason I went with the simple =
"embedded" table instead of generating the docbook.
