alternatively, print a single link to either the full documentation (containing the invariant sections) or to just the invariant sections. for FSF documentation, linking to the relevant URL on the FSF's own site should do - that's not going to vanish any time soon (if ever). and that will probably account for almost all GFDL documentation since hardly anyone else is likely to use it. and, amazingly, that works for even the stupid coffee-cup example that you loonies seem so obsessed with as if it somehow proves your ridiculous "point". > That doubles the amount of text you have to print.
