Easy mistake to make.

I know it's been discounted, for a number of different reasons,
on a few occasions over the years, but this issue should remind=20
us that it is a bit of a shame that the LFS and BLFS Books still
aren't being developed within, and rendered from, the same XML
source tree, and appear as parts of a Set of Books.=20

Funnily enough, I have just seen a posting, on the systemd from
scratch list, where Bruce postulates moving a couple of packages
from the systemd from scratch Book into the BLFS Book, but notes=20
that there'd be a lot of work to fix up the ID/XREF space, whereby
references between the two standalone books are currently made via
a URI targeting a "view" in the other Book's online rendering.

Always thought it was a bit perverse that, even if one had downloaded
both the LFS and BLFS Books, switching between content in them required
one to have an internet connection to the website.
