I'd prefer the one-page per mechanism/modifier style, with a list of links to all the other mechanisms and modifiers, perhaps like this (I renamed the single-mech pages): http://new.openspf.org/Mechanism/all http://new.openspf.org/Mechanism/a The reason is that I generally prefer short pages with a strong focus on a specific topic (IMO that also makes the most sense when having a user comments facility such as on the PostgreSQL documentation website[1], which I plan to implement soon). Such single-mech pages could later include additional info about the differences (if any) in SPFv2.1 syntax/semantics of each modifier, and other stuff, too. As far as printing is concerned, I don't think we should try to structure our site along the needs of offline media such as printouts. Besides, we could always offer a facility that bundles several pages (perhaps as defined by a classical ToC page) in a single HTML document (through page includes) or even a PDF document. The reverse cannot be done from monolithic blocks of information.
