That works for me ... *except* that last I checked the website's
CVS page was the flat-file version.  If you can update the website
from the SGML version then please do so; otherwise I still want to
update the flat file so that the webpage can be updated.

Precisely; the flat file looks not to have been touched since I made
the original version last summer.  You and Marc have put a lot of
good stuff into the SGML version, but none of those updates are
visible on the website.
