Would it be better if the DRI User Guide were divided into a number of
separate HTML pages, instead of one long document? I could do that
with the sgml2html converter. I'm hesitant to create new documents
because that's more work and harder to keep up to date.

It could be supported by an OpenGL extension, but I don't think Matrox
ever spec'd one out. I don't know enough of the details to say how
hard it would be to implement.

We've got the docs but we have to spend our time working on projects
which bring in income. We're hopeful that Radeon TCL will get done
through a future contract. (Yes, I'm being vague).
