Thanks for explaining this. I didn't mean to clutter
up the list, but "doclet" is just such an adorable
word, I smile every time I see it. It brings to
mind something cute and cuddly, wagging its little
tail ... or maybe a collectible, as in "I keep my
collection of ceramic doclets on top of the piano."
OK, OK, I'll slip back into lurk mode.
