For what it's worth, I almost always go to the pdf manual first 
when I need to find something.

I like this idea Graham, although I think I'd give you a run for 
your money in the "worst designer on the list" contest. :)  As a 
"small fix" guy, it would definitely be easier for me to deal with 
texinfo files than with html.  As weird as texinfo is, I find it 
much more human-readable than html source.  I like the flexibility 
of its output, too.
