Oh, I've got an objection myself. That part of the document concerns
the C++ standard documentation guidelines, where this isn't
appropriate. So instead I added an extra paragraph to the
introduction:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/53551/trunk
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/more/writingdoc/structure.html#introduction

Feel free to suggest changes, content, style, grammar or anything
else. I don't harbour any illusions about my ability as a writer.

Daniel
