Consider it done.

We'll be posting a URL for a draft of the new version in the next week 
or so, and we'd love as many comments/corrections/contributions as we
can get.

Quick question. For the sort in 7.15 (the one that uses downcase, then 
regular comparisons) is there a good Ruby idiom for this. In Perl you
could write (almost)

   a.downcase <=> b.downcase || a <=> b

Is there a clever Ruby equivalent?
