Right, we did get confused on the word page! Its like me trying not 
to use the word client in case my prospective customers think I'm 
referring to them instead of the client in the client-server stuff...

What I was thinking was that 'User observations' would appear as the 
last keyword/section in each portion of the resulting documentation.

You're way ahead of me :-)  This is very nice! Its a wonder other 
projects don't do something this. (Do they?)  Now I guess we (you!) 
get to sit back and if anything happens.
