Well, let's step back and think about this. Who is the audience for
these documents? That will tell us a lot about where they should really
be.

What I would prefer to avoid is the status quo where *everything* is in
the top-level directory, and where documents are organized for the
convenience of their maintainers rather than of their readers. But
sometimes I feel like I'm alone in that desire...:)

Thanks,
