I'm all for doing this, but note that this change can be taking place concurrent with running a beta, so it shouldn't hold up doing that. I'm doing a through front-to-back review of the reference right now, and generally, the information is platform neutral except where differences need to be spelled out...and then there's all of the Windows-specific stuff that tends to make the other platforms look like second-class citizens. I don't even consider OLE to necessarily be built-in....it's really more "loaded by default", but I'm splitting hairs on that one.
