The HTML files, PDF file, and text files don't include the same information at
this time. A person must read all three to get an exhaustive understanding
of the issues involved and options available.

That's what I was thinking of -- or at least unify all relevant information
into the same area.

I never said remove it from the code, I said to move all the WfW comments
to a separate section of the documentation.
1. They don't apply to most sites.
2. It will put all the WfW info in place, rather than making a person
search for it.
