I turned off keyword substitution for these files in CVS. The html files in www/en/ releases/4.4R/ were generated from SGML files, and I thought it best to leave the ID strings intact so that people can see where the content came from (and what revision). Otherwise this information gets spammed with the date the generated HTML file was updated in the repository. Although the dates will bear a strong resemblance, the version numbers don't, and I bet I'd get a bunch of questions as to why the version numbers on the Web site don't match those in the RELNOTESng snapshots. > - the fact that the HTML files are no more generated makes difficult > any design changes.

Any chance to revert to SGML format ? I found the old method (drop ASCII text in the middle of SGML) to be extremely inconvenient for updating the errata. I'm open to alternatives that don't make me do this. My goal for the release documents was to provide, verbatim, the same files that live in the distribution, in order to minimize confusion when people happen to see copies of the same document coming from multiple sources.
