In defense of Jonathan, his responses *were* accurate; they were
just too polite. I mean, they were accurate and looked accurate,
but it invited a discussion about file syntax. We've spent about
10 hours working on file syntax ALONE in the 2.11 docs; unless you
think that you can explain the concept better in an email than
multiple people could do in 10 hours, I strongly suggest that we
simply tell people to RTB211D.

Definitely! Although since there are multiple manuals, and to be
slightly more polite, it should be RTB211D. :) That said, I
believe that all doc-pointing in recent months *has* been to the
2.11 docs -- we just aren't consistent in saying "read the 2.11
docs instead of 2.10".
On second thought, I regret using the word "bloody" in my first
email. That's should be saved for people who know me and will
understand the joke.
Cheers,
