It will be easier for me to work with XML once I know what content I 
want to put into the XML files. So I revised the html file for the 
Colors/Desaturate/Desaturate menu and posted the revision to my website. 
Here's the (very temporary) link:

http://ninedegreesbelow.com/files/desaturate/8-18-desaturate.html

Feedback on the revision is greatly appreciated. If I've used too many 
words, too long sentences, strayed into too much detail, made any 
blatant mistakes, etc, please let me know and I'll try again.

If I don't receive any negative feedback (or no feedback at all) in the 
next day or so, I'll assume my revision is "content OK" and will port 
the revised content over to the XML documents.

On the one hand, there have been a lot of major changes to GIMP's "color 
management/color mixing/layer blending" code, that needs corresponding 
revision in the documentation.

On the other hand, the articles and tutorials I've written for my 
website tend to be overly wordy and technical.

So I want to make sure I'm hitting the right balance of "too little vs 
too much information" before heading into the deeper waters of the color 
management documentation. Which is why I'm asking for feedback on the 
Desaturate menu revisions.

Best,
Elle
