Thanks for the link, Byron.
I just released v1.3, which includes quite a few visual fixes to the content (many thanks to Alan Hoyle and Brian Scearce for their help spotting most of them).

If time permits, and interest is high enough, I may output this as a TomeRaider and/or iSilo document. I tried both of those readers with this content, and the performed HORRIBLY on this very basic version of standards-compliant HTML. In 1.3, I had to change all of my anchors to named anchors so iSilo (and even Adobe Acrobat's latest product) could properly parse them. They apparently don't support 'id=foo' attributes.
The other irksome thing is that TomeRaider can't import HTML (it only deals with text or tab-delimited text files), nor can TealDoc (its results are disgustingly bad), and iSilo doesn't know anything about alignment (<p align="justify">...</p>). I'm definately not impressed with the "competition" out there. I'll see if anyone is interested in this in another format, and convert it if I have some time to tinker with it.
ChangeLog is as follows:
08-14-2004
(Many thanks to Alan Hoyle and Brian Scearce for their help with this
version)
1. Fixed missing ending-quote characters on all chapters and indices.
2. Removed unnecessary use of — and – entities, replaced
with 7-bit equivalents.
3. Fixed/removed unnecess-ary use of hy-phen charac-ters in words
that don't co-ntain them (The original PDF wrapped the lines with
hyphens, these have been "unwrapped" now).
4. Replaced 'word;word' with 'word; word' to be gramatically correct.
Same with comma and colon characters splitting word boundaries.
5. Found and fixed several places where annotations were broken.
6. Updated the "smashed italics" problem, where italic words were run
up against the beginning of follow-on words. Also fixed the
overpadding of italic words.
7. Replaced the use of id attributes with name attributes for the
braindead viewers who don't handle properly-compliant HTML.
(TomeRaider, TealDoc, iSilo, Adobe Acrobat) 08-12-2004
1. Removed quote entities from HTML output, reduced aggregate
document size by ~10%.
2. Replaced the incorrect grammar with periods and end-of-sentence
semantics (previously was "...end of a sentence.Begin another").
3. Fixed broken annotations, which were incorrectly listed as
<sub>Xx</sub> instead of <sup>Xx</sup>.
4. Unwrapped long lines in upstream XHTML for easier management of
the content.
5. Added keywords for better indexing (for those search engines which
support it).
6. Restructured the entry and introduction page.
7. Cleaned up the incorrect use and grammar of the ellipsis (there
was no trailing space after its use).
8. Renamed each upstream page in the XHTML to follow a proper logical
procession from the previous and next pages.
9. Corrected incorrect balancing of <i> (italics) tags.
10. Added missing & entities in the Notes pages.
11. Corrected language encoding to meet UTF-8 instead of the default
iso-8859-1 encoding. 08-10-2004
1. Converted all 567 pages to HTML by hand, including indenting the
content and properly nesting all tags and attributes
2. Validated every page in the document and corrected as necessary to
meet w3c guidelines.
3. First version of the 9/11 Commission Report released in Plucker
format.
4. Announced release on the Plucker website, PalmGear, MemoWare, and
Usenet newsgroups.d.
