Yes, especially considering that most of the Synopses have never
been reorganized from their original braindump.  Only S03 has seen
major refactoring from the original, and most of the others are rather
randomly organized, especially the earlier ones.  Part of the problem
is that redoing the headings tends to break a lot of smart links.
