-	  Took way too long to revise this for 2.12 release. Updated
-	  FAQ to use qandaset tags instead of literallayout, cleaned
-	  up administration section, added User Guide section,
-	  miscellaneous FAQ updates and third-party integration
-	  information. From this point on all new tags are lowercase
-	  in preparation for the 2.13 release of the Guide in XML
-	  format instead of SGML.

-	<authorinitials>MPB</authorinitials>
-	<revremark>
-	  Things fixed this release: Elaborated on queryhelp
-	  interface, added FAQ regarding moving bugs from one keyword
-	  to another, clarified possible problems with the Landfill
-	  tutorial, fixed a boatload of typos and unclear sentence
-	  structures.  Incorporated the README into the UNIX
-	  installation section, and changed the README to indicate the
-	  deprecated status.  Things I know need work:  Used
-	  "simplelist" a lot, where I should have used "procedure" to
-	  tag things.  Need to lowercase all tags to be XML compliant.

-	<revremark>
-	  Attempted to integrate relevant portions of the UNIX and
-	  Windows installation instructions, moved some data from FAQ
-	  to Install, removed references to README from text, added
-	  Mac OS X install instructions, fixed a bunch
-	  of tpyos (Mark Harig), linked text that referenced other
-	  parts of the Guide, and nuked the old MySQL permissions
-	  section.
