So I think the time has come to apply this.  I did have one final
thought, though...  In the v2 discussion, you said:

This caused me to wonder if we shouldn't create a new book called
"tutorials" for this kind of stuff, with an explicit proviso that a more
web-oriented approach is OK in that section?  Tutorial documentation
*is* quite different from reference material, but we've really made no
effort to treat the two differently so far.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
