I don't like the split-into-a-bunch-of-tiny-pages idea. The page isn't
large enough to require that yet, IMHO. And there's space for definition
as well, as long as it's nice and short (which it should be).

+1 on actually defining that so outsiders can know about it. You'll just
have to get -core to agree on a wording for it though :-P
