Given that:
1. The 'committer rules' document will apply to doc/ just as much as
it applies to src/.
2. The FDP mailing list is @FreeBSD.org
3. After a big discussion recently, the FDP documentation will continue
to be installed under /usr/share/doc/ (rather than
/usr/local/share/doc, which is where third-party documentation is
installed)
I think it's safe to say that the source code should be able to refer
to any documentation in the doc/ tree. If you don't beat me to it, I'll
commit that comment.

[intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed,
non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs
the links.
