Actually there are a bunch of time-consuming changes to be made, which I
don't think are worth the effort at this point, but since they've been done
in at least half the Writer Guide chapters (as well as all of the Getting
Started guide), I can't really see avoiding doing them. And perhaps there
are ways to automate (or semi-automate) more of the changes, using macros or
table autoformats or something, which I haven't spent time figuring out.
We could discuss whether to spend the time on those items when working on
the first version of the other books, but OTOH debating stuff takes time
that could be spent getting real work done.
Note: I don't have any objection to the changes as such, just the timing of
them.
