I apologize for the delay, I decided to write it in FAQ format and
I wanted to see if the other languages for docs would support several
separate TOCs. I wound up using plain had written xhtml.
EDIT: (Then I learned that I needed to compress it before sending).
This is only a draft, I expect to increase it's size.
I noticed that a couple of the questions I answer are answered in the LDPs
dictionary. Interestingly enough, there are also a few apps in the
dictionary, like games. I'd argue that they do not belong there and want
a bit of an idea where my QA style guide ends and where the LD should
begin.
Tell me what you think of my guide so far, this is an RFC.

Thanks, David
