like most programmers i'm lazy...  and hate wasting time looking for something.  so i have a suggestion that from my own experience i believe would save time.

section IV of the online maual..  the functions section..  many times you have to come back to this section to look up the syntax of a function..  but there are so many groups under this heading it's hard to find the one you're looking for.

why not add sub-headings to this section.  one for database related functions and the other for everything else.  ie.

IV. Function Reference
    I.  Database Related
        I.  Database (dbm-style) abstraction layer functions
        II. dBase functions
        III.MySQL Functions
        ....
    II. Everything Else
        I.  Apache-specific Functions
        II. Array Functions
        ....


just a suggestion..  would narrow down the number of headings the eye would have to scan through..  and help make it easier to find stuff faster.

have been trying to do so every once in a while,
but the docbook DTD won't really let me

looks like we are going to tweak DTD and 
stylesheets ab bit :(
