Since all of these URLs (those which respond, at least) go to 
essentially the same content, I have a few questions: 1) Who wrote this? 
1a) Could it be Joseph Barbish? 2) Regardless, could the author be 
persuaded to contribute his/her wisdom to the official documentation, 
rather than verbally trash the latter?

Persipiring minds want to know.
