I don't want to go into aesthetics, but overall I like it.

However, the W3C HTML validator <URL:http://validator.w3.org> does
not like the pages... I don't know much about BoostBook and how the
HTML pages are generated, but is it possible to add a doctype and fix
the remaining errors? IMHO a group like Boost should aim where
reasonable for code conforming to the respective standards - be it C++
or HTML.
