I'd like to add that, as we agreed earlier, once the docs are branched 
they are frozen, as is the source code (meaning no more editing of 5.4.0 
docs, all doc changes must occur in the trunk).

I'd also like to take this time to again ask that any documentation 
updates must include a reference to the version it impacts (e.g. I add a 
function foobar() in PHPMapScript, the description of that function 
should include "added in MapServer 5.4.0, this function enables blah...").

thanks.
