Thanks for the mail, Jose. To explain this in detail:
For example, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=6?passthru=1 leads to the same xml doc as http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?passthru=1 Also, there seems to be no easy way to find out the exact .xml file for the page (?part=1&chap=6) which I can append ?passthru=1 to. Another point is that maybe you could make it easier for people who want to submit bugs by having all info needed to submit bugs/patches for documentation clearly in one place. I found the ?passthru trick quite by accident, on some page that I can't find now to reference. Carthik.
