Re: [BP] Reordering the best practices

Oh. One more thing. It occurs to me that as we shift around the best
practices into new groups we'll need to re-write the section intro
materials.

For example, the intro to Linking [1] probably fits into "Webiness".

I think there's also a good opportunity to edit down some of the intro
materials and remove some of the current duplication. Although I wouldn't
touch the material for Spatial Data Access [2] as that's already in fine
fettle.

Linda- *once the sections are agreed*, I'd be happy to help edit the intro
material for the section headings.
