For many purposes it is quite useful to be able to remove invariant sections. This has been pointed out to RMS, and on debian-legal, a bazillion times. I will recite one such case: If I want to reproduce only one small part of a GFDLd manual which has invariant sections, then I can only do so if I reproduce all the invariant sections, which can be quite large, in comparison to the few paragraphs I wish to copy from the text. This is a frequent operation one might want to do (think doc strings, after all). Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
