OK, just seeking confirmation. That is the mindset that I have moved into with my last set of patches, and it makes it much easier for everyone. We might want to make some note to this effect on the docs-project web site, and/or in the 1.3 docs themselves. I have an example fetish, and try to make sure that all the docs have examples, but I'm doing this primarily in the 2.0 docs from here forward, and folks reading the 1.3 docs are going to miss that. The only place that I can see this being a problem is with directives that went away 1.3->2.0 -- And everyone said, "If we only live, We too will go to sea in a Sieve - To the hills of the Chankly Bore!"
