Since there were no objections, I will implement changes 1 and 3. I'll
keep
#2, but simplify it as noted; it's pretty basic stuff, but marginally
useful.

I'd like to make a couple of changes to the dguide:
1. Remove Example 20.2. Using Hex for colors with stylesheet, and
the text that introduces it.
The next live example describes the very same subject.
2. Simplify Example 20.5. Blending Colors. It now uses a resizable
window and lots of constraints,
and it's hard to see the point of the example. Here is what we have
now:
<canvas height="850">
<window name="raptor" x="25" y="50" height="200" width="200"
resizable="true" title="Resize this window">
<view name="red" height="${raptor.height*.5}" width="$
{raptor.height*.5}" bgcolor="0xFF0000"/>
<view name="blue" height="${raptor.red.height}" width="$
{raptor.red.width}" bgcolor="0x0000FF" x="${raptor.red.width
(raptor.red.width*.5)}" y="${raptor.red.height-
(raptor.red.height*.5)}"/>
<view name="fuchsia" height="${raptor.red.height*.5}" width="$
{raptor.red.width*.5}" bgcolor="0xFF00FF"
x="${raptor.red.width-(raptor.red.width*.5)}"
y="${raptor.red.height-(raptor.red.height*.5)}"/>
</window>
</canvas>
The point of this section could made like this:
<canvas height="850">
<view name="red" height="100" width="100" bgcolor="0xFF0000"/>
<view name="blue" x="50" y="50" height="100" width="100"
bgcolor="0x0000FF"/>
<view name="fuchsia" x="50" y="50" height="50" width="50"
bgcolor="0xFF00FF"/>
</canvas>
In my opinion, this example could be dropped altogether; it's pretty
basic stuff.
3. Remove section 4. When Red Isn't Red. I don't think there's any
useful information here.
Objections or comments?
