Phase 2! In phase one, hang it where I suggested because it means NO, ZIP,
NADA, ZERO change to LUGNET code. Let the heavy users start using it and
work the bugs out and if it looks good, THEN lobby to get the template
changed for guide pages to include it.
Spiral, Spiral, Spiral! Let the "one correct anchor point" slide for now,
eh? I suspect the LUGNETadminietypes have their hands full at the mo. Get
somebody to implement the page first.
