Not really -- more like a 1.9/0.1 -way street.  I've been a tech writer 
for 15 years, and you guys are doing okay. Heck, even the Japanese guys 
can be figured out, sort of ;-).  The disklabel docs are decipherable, 
but barely so.  I suspect that a lot of people, confronted with the 
cryptic extreme of the disktab file, tend to get a bad case of the huh?s.
