I definitely agree with this. I found the reference to
xhtml.xml very confusing, and thought that its absence
from my filesystem just 'one of those things' that I'd
have to get used to over time.
Knowing that they are pseudo-files helps my
understanding a great deal. Naming these in an
un-ambigious way would be a big help to everyone down
the road.
