You still have the scars ?!  :)

Murray and I were talking about this one just a few days ago, where
I strongly objected to using <filename role="package">sysutils/cdrtools</fil..
because that port doesn't actually install mkisofs.

In the interim I think we went for omitting the markup altogether, but I'm
not sure as I don't recall actually looking.  The commit log for
doc/.../books/handbook/disks/chapter.sgml should hold the truth (iirc).

Agreed. I'd volunteer, but I don't believe my powers quite reach that far yet.
