Technically, the grouping and other information of each document could
easily be encoded in an SGML comment near the beginning of the file for
example:

  <!-- Group: software/configuration --> 
  <!-- Keywords: sendmail:mail:e-mail:Internet Connectivity: --> 

These instructions could be used by a script to build the documentation
hierachy in whatever way desired. It should be the responsibility of the
LDP to coordinate with the authors the assignment of group, keywords etc.
