* Remove some "remap=tt" from <emphasis>. In some cases, replace <emphasis>

Browse source 
with something more appropriate, like <command>

 * Fix up <address>.  White space within <address> *is* significant,
   so the translation teams will have to duplicate this change.

 * Remove some <para> and </para> tags that erroneously broke up some
   paragraphs into two or more paragraphs.

 * Correct some <literallayout>s to <programlisting>

 * Remove some <para>...</para>s that were wrapping elements that don't
   need them (like <itemizedlist>).

 * Convert examples to use <screen> and <userinput>.  Whitespace is
   significant, translators should be able to cut-n-paste the changes.

Haven't done the whole file yet, since I ran out of time.  More to
follow.
