OK, I understand that the older versions aren't going to be revised - that 
makes sense.

I think part of the reason I submitted this is the reader's path from the 
open() documentation to the most relevant part of the io documentation (the 
interface) is long and narrow: open()->file object(in the Glossary)->io(see 
note)..and then scroll several pages down.
Note: the link to io from the 'file object' glossary entry is visually tiny, 
and in last paragraph - effectively making it almost invisible. This also seems 
to be the only place in the chain of links from open() which gets you to the io 
documentation.
When trying to find the interface documentation I tried the visually bigger, 
earlier links and ended up like I was being given the run-around through the 
various glossary entries.
As a documentation user I'd ideally like a direct link (which is a bit visually 
bigger than 'io') from open() to the relevant, interface section of the io 
documentation. However, upstanding you have a better feel for the tone of the 
documentation, I can see you might take a different route.
