I filed bug #5393 a little over 2 weeks ago.  We first raised this
issue on the mailing list 6 weeks before that.  Asking to have it
fixed doesn't do any good.  I've filed lots of "Content" bugs over the
past year, now called "text" bugs.  Some are trivial to fix, others
would take elbow grease to deal with.  Almost none have been dealt
with.  We need a better way for the community to handle this, because
Kitware isn't going to deal with most of them.  We've had threads
about documentation infrastructure in the past 2 months.  People have
floated some ideas but nobody, including myself, has stepped up to the
plate.

I've raised the priority on this bug to "high" because it keeps coming
up over and over again.
