You know we're all just talking about presentation of information, not
the information itself. So what we want is a flexible (tailorable?)
interface to the information, not a change in the information itself.
So with all the advances made in user access to information, we're
saying it can never apply to the PoOp information.

After thinking about this for a few days, the biggest 'complaint' I have
with the POP is the two columns. It makes me have to scroll up and down
just to read the end of the paragraph that started at the bottom of the
left side.
Some of us like it in two columns, some hate it. I happen to be in the former
group.
The second issue is the way the "if 24bit, if 31 bit, if 64bit"
statements read.
For myself, I have no difficulty with the "for L, ... for LH, ..." kinds of
statements.
Suggestions:
1) Make each group of instructions (like ADD) start on a new page.
Not necessary, IMO
2) Use two columns for the instruction bit pictorials. Put 24/31 bit on
the left and 64 bit on the right.
Yuck.
3) Use a full width paragraph for things common to both 24/31 bit and 64
bit.
4) Use the left column for 24/31 bit specifics and the right column for
64 bit specifics. These groups are side by side for the same 'subject'.
If there is no 64 bit specifics, then leave a gap in the right side.
I really don't like this.
5) If possible, consider placing the simple examples directly after the
instructions.
Clutter. Please don't.
Clearly, there is no consensus here that any of the proposed changes are a good
idea.
