I had two items on my TODO: one about cleaning up README.rulesets to 
address some of the inaccuracies that have crept in over time and one 
about updating/unifying all the general class comments in the individual 
rulesets.  Having gotten through unification of the in-ruleset comments 
about buildings, specialists, and citystyles, I was reminded to update 
README.rulesets in relation to patch #3869, and wondered why the 
documentation is separated in the way that it is.

I would think that it would be easier to maintain all the ruleset 
documentation in README.rulesets, rather than in the individual ruleset 
files (simply from a duplication-avoidance strategy), but given the 
state of the documentation in each place, suspect that past experience 
has shown the opposite to be more true.

If I am planning to rewrite README.rulesets anyway, is it worth 
importing all the detail information from the ruleset comments, and 
referencing README.rulesets therein, with an expectation that future 
patches can be strongly encouraged to also update the docs, or is it 
believed that this isn't going to work, and I should continue to proceed 
with updates to both sets of documentation?
