Ooops -- I misread that.  My preference would be separate pages,
just for consistency with existing practice for the other w* 
pages.  The alternative would be to move the text of the existing
w* pages into there non-w* counterparts.  Whichever, consistency
would be best, and the undocumented w* pages need to be documented
(by someone).

Cheers,

Michael
