Can we please have this patch split in at least a infrastructire and
a content part.
This makes it easier to review - and also makes it
much more clear what is needed to be added when adding new
documentation following this format.

I would also suggest to copy Randy Dunlap on patches
touching generic parts like this in Documentation.

I will try to review this when the splitup has heppend.

[I may have been copied on stuff earlier but I has been
and is almost off-line atm].

Thanks,
	Sam
