Yes, this setting is self-explanatory (if you have followed the
discussion that spawned it), but (I assume) there are only two ways you
can learn about its existence: 1) reading this message, or 2) reading
the source.

I poked about the user guide and found a very short list of settings.  I
poked about the source and found 82 settings. 

(I added a ListOfAvailableSettings topic to the WebwareRecipes page
http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/ListOfAvailableSettings )

It would be nice to have a convention for documenting settings.

desirable features (in order of importance)
  1 easy to maintain (e.g. simple, located near the code that
implements/uses it)
  2 easy to find (e.g. by a doc-generating script)
  3 formal enough for an admin tool to pick up and use.

comments please.
