This is really great.  I made a first pass at converting it to
DocBook.  The output can be seen here :

  http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/geom-class/article.html

When I first read your mail I thought that integrating it into the
architecture handbook would be best, but after reading through the
tutorial itself, I agree that it makes a fine stand-alone article.

Maybe we can poach some of this material into a GEOM chapter of the
architecture handbook at a later date, but for now I'd like to see it
as an article.

Any chance we can get you to update some of the out of date man pages
you encountered in this project?
