Answering some questions about these issues today, I wrote:

which reminded me that huge thanks are also due to Matt & Gaetan and
everyone
else who helped getting our documentation modernized.
As tedious as this work was, it was far better than if we had to page
through
paper manuals or the old postscript dumps from the old nroff specs -
having
html specs online with links to jump directly to the right call
encoding or
description made it much faster to see which values could be large
enough to
cause overflows, or what values we should be checking to limit the
values to.
So once again, thanks for making our specs more usable!
A tribute to your leadership. Not only you got the job done, but you go
it done by volunteers!
Agreed!
