    I envision this process being similar to WebWork - a static export is
    done (once we get the toc working right) as part of the ant release
    process. Thus, the wiki docs represent "CVS" while the version
    distributed with the release correlate to that. Additionally, the
    non-wiki docs on the website (which do not currently exist) would
    match the most current "stable" release.

    The only thing tricky about the wiki docs matching CVS is in a
    branching environment. We discussed that before, though. The consensus
    was that we could copy the space for a branch, so that the "doc
    branch" stays up to date with the CVS branch.

    Anyway, to sum it up - improvements are good and won't stomp on my
    toes at all. We haven't put together conventions yet, but I would like
    to recommend putting classes in {{}}'s (monospaced) whenever new docs
    are written. This may end up being the way I can handle javadocs,
    rather than bringing in another notation to remember.
