I downloaded the .bz2 file (boost_1_36_beta.tar.bz2) from SF.net. It 
looks to me like the look-and-feel of the docs have changed in 1.36, 
which is strange because I don't remember a discussion about it. For 
instance, the index.html at the root no longer resembles the website. 
And it looks the same to me regardless of whether I use IE7 of Firefox 3.

For an example of the hidden links, check out the reference docs for 
mpl::for_each and play find-the-links. In particular, check out the code 
block under "Expression Semantics".
