  <title>For the Reader</title>

  <p>Readers are the ultimate arbiters of the quality of a documentation
  system.  The best efforts of the writers and hackers are wasted if the
  documention doesn't help the reader to find the information she needs
  quickly.  The needs of the reader trump all other requirements.</p>
