As far as I can see on the usage are your assumption correct, and there
must be other ways to make different readme text platform dependent.

Would it not be ok, to have one readme for all platforms, and in the text
mention the specics ?

There is exactly one file with extension .xrm

is there a reason (apart from history) for it being in .xrm or could it

If so we could get rid of one more conversion tool (read: does not need
to
be converted to new code).


I am not sure if xhp would be a good option here. But we can probably
switch to something else. Maybe a common readme file that gets extended
with platform specific portions from other files. When I remember it
correctly the xrm files contains the content for the readme file and
depending on the platform different content is extracted from this file.

Jan;

That may indeed be one way to do it. My concern is that users will get frustrated trying to wade through the info for the other platforms and just not bother with it at all. Of course based on the way they read the release notes they probably don't read it anyway. Be that as it may do we want to give them another reason not to read it and possible miss pertinent information.
