I'm going to play devil's advocate in just this one message just to air a couple of concerns. Regardless, I'm glad you are working on this stuff. 1. We don't want to make the meaning of the table dependant on color (especially in HTML). Two reasons: o Some people have difficulty visually distinguishing colors. o I don't want to lose the ability to have meaningful, decent-looking dead-tree versions of documents, which are usually rendered in PostScript or PDF. 2. As you know, we try to keep the hardware notes as MI as possible, so I want to make sure that your changes still fit into this framework. (Maybe the premise that we can have mostly-MI release documentation is a mistake, but that's another issue.) Do you have the SGML sources for your changes available somewhere? I'd like to think about folding some of these back into the sources. How closely are you tracking the HEAD sources? Thanks! Bruce. PS. I marked you as the owner of the "ia64 hardware notes" task on the 5.1 release TODO list, so don't be surprised if you see your name there. :-) --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+xlzd2MoxcVugUsMRAv+QAKCPib0F7K3DPLdlGzIdvL3LtFYwigCeOIF8 W1Pb4khbP5NkYE5SG9puBI8= =ByxU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc--
