That would be fine.

Another approach would be to reference the bug list in the FAQ.  Which would
get the pointer into releases automatically.

Agreed.

Looking at the output from texi2html -menu -split_chapter seems to be our
best bet for including the entire manual online in html form.  Menus work,
the file sizes are reasonable (without the -split_chapter we got a >1M
html file for the docs... Which would take forever to download).

The next problem is figuring out how to get a pointer into the news and
bugs section.  The labels inserted by texi2html are based on section number,
not the name of the section.  I suspect with a little perl work we can add
an appropriate label that can be referenced from outside the document to
get to the bugs & news sections.
