No... I'd much prefer your organization into appropriate sub-lists.

Many people -won't- read a 124kb document - if it's more than a page or
two - they get overwhelmed, simply give up and ask the newsgroup.

Sad but true.

If we want to make two approaches into the doc - using Ken's basic SSI
schema, that would be great.  But as far as web page navigation - I'd
be much happier with a group of pages, with a "Printable" button that
takes the user to the "Big Document".
