Not only that, but it means that you can have the official  
documentation with you while you're offline, and that can be  
surprisingly useful for a multitude of reasons (or even a potential  
lifesaver if you need to fix something and your networking is broken  
-- or just ran out of money on casual wireless overseas).

I'll have a think and tinker with the three documentation packaging  
suggestions from Juan, and let you all know if/when it gets anywhere.

Kind regards,
