A general thought:

Many C/C++ programmmers are still unaware of what  
undefined/unspecified/implementation-defined behaviour means. IMO, it  
would very helpful and educational if there were boost-wide definitions of  
such standardese terms that each boost library documentation would link to.

(In my experience, if documentation is not sufficiently informative and  
well-organized then it's very hard to get programmer teams to adopt some  
library, and if they do adopt it then most likely it won't be used  
properly due to to ignorance.)

My 2 cents,
