Sure.  Please submit a patch.

I think everyone who is able to use a computer is able to find that 
information by himself.

I thought it was more correct to use < rather than < inside of

Will do.  Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be wasting anybody's
time by doing so.

Sure, but why not save them the effort?  If somebody (me) is willing
to track down the links, what benefit is there in not providing them?
The Bibliography already provides links to other items -- why not the
books as well?

I am unsure about this myself (I copied the usage from perform.sgml).

Should I update the biblioentry id's, or are they keys that shouldn't
be changed so other documents that refer to them don't need to be
updated?  For example, should DATE94 remain the same, or should it
become DATE04 (or DATE2004)?  I see that BOWMAN93 refers to a 1996
edition of that book, so I'm guessing the id's should remain untouched.
Just wanted to be sure, though.

Thanks.
