A note to future authors and editors of this document:
Thank you a hundred times over for contributing!
The latest version of this document was editing using
the following system configuration:
Textwidth: 74 characters
Tabstop: 3 characters
In vim (the only editor that matters) that's:
:set textwidth=74
:set tabstop=3
Things that need fixing should be marked as such with either "TODO"
or "FIXME".
Multiple file searching can be done with a variation of this:
find . -name "*xml" -exec grep -n "TODO" {} \; -print

I'm stretching into the depths of my memory to remember
this...but...didn't Bin make a huge big "glossary" a few
months back? Should there be a link to that document?
