Perhaps we should be careful about whether we're posting on -user or -devel. abbrevs on -devel are fine, but newcomers generally post on bug- or -user... > Not to mention the problem with referencing 1.2 in the mails, as the > numbering of sections will probably change over time and looking in the mail > archive for an answer will be useless or misleading. Good point, but RTFM answers are generally not the most interesting part of any maillist archive. > So instead reading LM 1.2 I would recommend reading "About the > documentation" section in the Guide.

I dislike "the Guide" (for political reasons ;-) but instead of LM, NR and such, we could invent words such as LearnMan NotRef IntRef MusGloss SnipList and such... as Graham said, it's all about getting used to it; however the LM initials are indeed confusing.
