Yep, the reason for that id-tag sweep was exactly that: deterministic
filenames for the resulting HTML files, so that there are no more
dynamically-generated quickly-obsoleted files on the website.

But are there really? :)  My id-tag sweep covered all of doc/en_US and
all of the English relnotes.  I just did a fresh checkout, clean build
and install of the doc/en_US.ISO8859/ tree, and there are no
dynamically-generated filenames that I can find, not in the
ports-handbook, not anywhere (well, except for a few legal notice
documents, but I couldn't figure those ones out at the time of the
id-tag sweep).

So.. IMHO, cleaning up the website should be safe to do now; as a matter
of fact, it has been safe since January 12th, the time of the id sweep.

G'luck,
Peter

This sentence every third, but it still comprehensible.
