I'd say as long as it isn't too hard to generate them, let's generate them - worse case, no one will use it :) > As I thought about the docs some more, I did think that some general > re-org, perhaps for 2.0, should perhaps be done: <snipped points to which I agree> > 6) I really like the idea of going to HTML docs - it is pretty much > univerally readable, yet is also simple to generated.
