Which doc is this? Might be a bug on our end?

For the bulk of our docs, there should be a one-to-one omf->doc
correspondence. The only exception to this that I'm aware of is the
gnome2-users-guide, which uses a bunch of omf files to point to
individual sections, thus (if I understand correctly, Sander?) allowing
multiple users guide sections to appear separately in the help browser's
table of contents.

We have a lot of duplication, where multiple top-level docs include
"legal.xml", but each keeps its own separate copy of legal.xml in its
own directory.

No pest. You're exercising our system - sure to find bugs and help us
squish 'em.
