Ah well, since everybodu agrees on this, I changed my formatting program
to add "minimal digest" support.

The only thing is that the digest format only supports one hierarchical
level and I have two, but I guess that having a few subsections inside of
one section doesn't really hurt...

It seems that the University of Ohio conversion creates one HTML page for
each of the sections (everything that starts with the hyphen line and the
"Subject:" line. Is this correct ?
