For example, the preface tells me what the Acl and Attr package do, but it doesn't say anything about why they are now in the book. Is there something that needs these features? Did the editors just feel this makes the system more 'complete'? Some packages do have what is more like a rationale, but others are a little vague. Another example: expat is included because it's a dependency of the XML::Parser Perl module. But the rationale for that module only says that it's an interface to the expat library. I'm left with no clue as to why either are needed. Thanks, JH
