A version of 7.3 made from the flat HTML is ready for review, but as 
it's far too large to email through the lists, I have started a 
SourceForge project and uploaded it there: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lfsepubs in the "test files" folder. I'm 
still working on making a version from the "chunked" HTML, which at this 
point means correcting lots of links.

Huzzah. I think.
