It's custom code for our docs, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to

Thanks so much for the thorough summary. This is very helpful.
As to whether we'll actually do this, I don't know. Expect a certain
amount of resistance. User commentary without a concerted effort to
incorporate that commentary back into the docs is, as Robert says, a
recipe for unlimited quantities of crap attached to the docs. On the
other hand, the Apache HTTPD docs are *WAY* smaller than the PHP docs.
We have (last time I counted) a total of 229 doc files. I count
10809 .xml files in the doc-en svn repo. So incorporating that
feedback is a much smaller job than it is with the PHP docs.
Mostly I'm feeling that our docs don't answer the questions that folks
are actually asking, and I am looking around for ways to rectify that.
This is one idea that was floated.
