Valid point. During the discussion in the past days we agreed on bundling the documentation for each package in it's archive file, that will be available from pear.php.net. So each package will have it's documentation at a central place on your system, since it comes with the package you install, AND you'll have a central place (i.e. the PEAR website), where the documentation is availabe for online reading, downloading etc. - Martin
