I'd prefer to see a single longish page (it's still not that long I
don't think, but purely a personal view). If you were to split it

1. how would it be split?

2. how would it be done to prevent the 'islands of information' effect
that may be causing problems?
In a sense that's my concern - one page or 5, just so long as a person
can't get stranded on one.

thanks

jan
