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.
pointed out by Rick Robinson. Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.

"4.4BSD-Lite" (not "4.4 BSD Lite", "BSD 4.4-lite" or some such), this

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.
