916387743d I recently tried to install over passive FTP, and found it difficult to 
understand how to do it from the handbook.  I suggest the following
re-wording and extension to make it clearer.

538f9021da Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$ 
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

a195318eaf Avoid the use of contractions. This eliminates the "its"/"it's" problems 
pointed out by Rick Robinson.  Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.

Note: the reason for avoiding contractions is two-fold:

1) It makes the text easier to understand for people who speak English
   as a second language.
2) Expanding the contractions often reveals poorly worded passages.

coincidence - this was the very next item on my TODO list, huzzah!  Thanks,

XCOPY command example to match new realities.

5b29f59a52 Syntax tweak. 
The breakage is actually a subtle bug in the DTD, but fixing it may
have some other ugly implications that need to be explored first.

b37985c476 (This really shouldn't all be on one commit, but I forgot 
I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml.  Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

Avoid the use of contractions.  This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.

f6d864bf47 Add definitions for the various freebsd-* mailing lists so that 
we are consistent in how they are referenced in the handbook, and
so that they are now all clickable URLs.  E.g. no more mis-matched
freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org and hackers@freebsd.org.  They are used
just like the individual mail addresses defined in authors.sgml.
E.g. &a.doc will expand to:

FreeBSD documentation project mailing list <freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG>

Be consistent in using the FreeBSD.ORG address.  All references
to freebsd.org were changed to FreeBSD.ORG.

Use pre-defined addresses for some individuals where available.
