Ok,

So how to proceed? Do we need to make and official PSUBS spec? Like
along the lines of the ABS book we all love?

I see Doc's, Pat's and Doug's comments combined into the Introduction.
But where to go from there? With our limited resources can we really
put the research needed to produce an accurate book? Still I am game,
after the convention, to take a shot. Below are suggested chapters.
The content of which can be filled out as we proceed.

Any other chapters you would like? Better Arrangement?
