Jan, my comments are based on the fact that this is what I want as a
user.  The point is that, as I said, I haven't been involved in 1.6
development and I don't know much, if anything, about what these
features are.  So I can't write this document.  But if one of the
developers who is centrally involved can write this document, it would
be very useful.
