Do we the developers have tools to manage these metadata.dtd files?  IIRC, 
this was one of the huge concerns about having these (so people didn't 
fat finger things).  Should we really be pushing them out before something 
to manage this exists (or did I miss something where it was announced)?

FYI, this page doesn't render correctly in mozilla-firebird (no text is 
displayed after the words "currently the" in the second sentence of the 
first section.  

Also, Konqueror 3.1.2 does not like the right table/panel.
