That would be great, Martin. I published Binh's XML document, but I
fear it's not usable in the current mode. It's basically one
*huge* section containing an itemized list.
Binh, I was thinking that perhaps one way to make this easier to
use in a "book" form would be to take a hint from the traditional
dictionary layout and break it up by alphabetical sections. ideally,
a searchable version is the best implementation, imo...but we could
still attempt to publish this breaking on alpha sections. It's your
choice.
