  those all look like good candidate to me.. they are substantial 
bodies of work
However, my impression is that most all of those are chronically 
under-resourced: due to complexity, few can make needed
changes; due to significance and impart, improvement is always
needed, and matter; due to architecture, it is not the library that 
gets retail 
resource rewards, but rather the applications on top of them.. 

  I suggest that library writeups would have a common graphical look,
similar to but different from the docs produced so far, and also I suggest 
that we keep relatively low expectations about how thats going to 
happen.. 

  Cameron, thanks for asking about this..
