Unfortunately, these versions of the document you've linked to above all suffer from the same problems I corrected in my version. I also added quite a bit to my version to make it easier to read and navigate on a handheld as well as a desktop browser.

I've added links to the annotations, broken up logical sections into their own chapters, reformatted and correct several thousand common punctuation errors, merged the incorr-ectly hyph-enated words, and turned the HTML I produced into 100% standards-compliant XHTML 1.0, so I can source it with dozens of other tools as necessary.

Once Google is done indexing it and adds it to its search results, it should be available on the web as the only searchable, indexable, superlinked copy of this document, in HTML format (copyright me, of course).

I will be making a version in iSilo format and text format soon, once I add some iSilo hacks to the upstream HTML (iSilo doesn't support some pretty common HTML constructs, which Plucker has always supported, so I have to change the HTML to retain the same level of rich HTML linking and formatting that Plucker users enjoy, because iSilo is the less-capable reader in this category).
