[BRLTTY] Is there still need for the manual to mention drivers in the kernel?

[Lee Maschmeyer]

While looking at the manual (build 3643) I ran across mention of giving 
driver parameters if the driver was in the kernel or a module (putting them 
in the LILO config file for example). Is this still pertinent? I've been 
using brltty for 5 years and I think all this predates any of my experience. 
Does it serve any purpose other than scare the bejunior out of newbies?

Also and not very related, I saw on the internet that the command sgml2txt 
is "an old and obsoleted form of the linuxdoc -b command." I suppose this is 
known and just hasn't been worth the bother to change, but it's interesting 
that the text version of the manual can't really be displayed successfully 
by less, at least on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (It works but displays hex 
characters in Stefane Doyon's name among many other places.) The text 
version is however the best place to look if you have to search for 
something.

Just a thought,
