From the looks of things we've fixed about half of the documentation bugs

documentation bugs were in the past not getting fixed as often as everyone
would like, as I suggest in the blog post, is that it was something of a
faff to alter the XML files, and the system was fairly fragile - a slight
error in reference number, for example, could cause a subsequent installer
build to fail. So yes, part of the reason for changing the format was so it
would be easier for *us* to fix docs bugs without breaking things.

Agreed.
One of the reasons I've been a bit hesitant to submit pull requests for features is that creating the doc files has been a pain, undocumented, and the only editing tool is outdated, incomplete, and buggy (did I miss anything?). The new format is a breath of fresh air... or in my part of the world, rain after a long drought.
