When John Weiss first wrote the User Guide many years ago, all these
arguments (renumbering sections, etc.) were far stronger than they are
today. Word and people's ability to use Style Sheets have improved
dramatically over the past few years (warning: biased observation of a
small sample of people). The Web with the HTML markup tags helped raise
people's awareness, I think.
Much of the preface material in the LyX documentation should be updated
and made a little less strident; all of the documentation should be
updated for that matter. I've been laying low on doing this since I
perceive big changes taking place in LyX that will require redoing
everything again for 1.2.0, and frankly, I find 1.1.6 and its fixes
unusable because of the tabular problems.
\begin{WARNING to everyone, especially the developers:}
So unless people beg and whine, I plan no doc updates until 1.2.0preX is
released - though I am keeping track of the current inaccuracies.
\end{WARNING}
Oh yeah - if anyone wants to volunteer to help document when 1.2.0 starts
coming out, that would speed things up, too ...
