If we decide to ship new documentation the way Keith suggests we
should migrate any existing documentation in the same fashion.
It may sound reasonalbe now to treat them differently - but
some years down the road nobody will remember why it is done
that way - espcecially as the reasons will sound more strange
then than now.
So since we are currently still in a big clean up phase why not
make everything as consistent as possible?
