Re: [wwwdocs] News item: Experimental C++0x mode


Hi Greg,

it's certainly a good idea to promote this.  The snippet is a bit longer 
than we usually have in this section, so let me try to propose a few minor 
changes to reduce length a bit.

Can we merge "upcoming ISO C++ standard, C++0x" into "upcoming ISO C++0x 
standard" and omit "to the GNU C++ compiler" (which I hope will be clear 
from the context)?

Similarly, how about reading the second sentence "Enabled with..., this 
offers..."?

If you have other/better/further suggestions please go ahead, the patch
as such is certainly fine (and I appreciate you even rotating older news
off to our backup page).

Thanks,
Gerald
