I agree. It looks to me that the article could be edited for clarity and
layout. Someone with better knowledge of the DAT file than me want to do
that? Either I or someone else can put it in the ldraw.org page format,
the template is at:
http://www.ldraw.org/main-template.html
BTW - the FAQ should eventually be edited and formatted to the site layout,
perhaps having one page per FAQ question/response. When should that be
done, and what priority should that be given?

Sounds like a good idea to me. If/when you need pages done of it, LMK and
I'll take care of it.
