The (unadvertised!) ref-stable and html-stable variants are generated by
the 2.7.* gphelp and 2.7.* docs, which contained about 40 known
conversion bugs and glitches compared to 2.8.*.

I have backported the corresponding fixes to the 2.7.* branch.

    K.B.

P.S. Thanks to everybody who commented and submitted bug reports !

The /html/ version uses frames which are scheduled to be replaced by a css
equivalent. The /ref/ version should pass a HTML5 validator (and
currently misses a few sections like "GP operators" and the introduction
to "readline").
