My guess it it is a pile of work.  Our current docs are really inconsistent 
between one another, and that probably wouldn't fly in a book.  OTOH, we 
probably have to make a lot of stuff consistent if we really want to see it 
standardized.

But I'm skeptical that the amount of work will be overwhelming except for 
someone (Nico? Matt? Jeremy?) who has done it before and knows the ropes.
