And have you decided whether this should just go in the
@knownissues on that page, or should it be a separate section?

James, once we have an answer, you can start working on this.  To
add the new unnumberedsubsec, copy the existing code, and add the
name to the @menu.

That's just it -- there isn't anybody to guide you gently into
that good night.  The only clue I know about the IR is that it's
partly generated by scheme functions in scm/documentation*.

Mark knows more, and various people like Neil, Patrick, and Carl
seem to know everything about all parts of lilypond, so maybe they
could help... but AFAIK nobody has a good grasp of the whole
system.
