Is it possible to add the docs to the test framework to check for ReST errors?

Hi all, Every so often we get a few tickets popping up about ReST errors in the docs. I've just patched one (#4995) where some hideously glaring mistakes like, say, missing a space after an asterisk, or one too few empty lines caused nasty error messages like: testing.txt:584: (WARNING/2) Inline

Merge some branches in before 1.0?

Just thinking out loud here - We've warned people off using the svn version to run production sites because of the post-1.0 code breakage that's going to be happening. So, we don't need to worry as much about stability of trunk, since 0.96 is the stable, recommended version. Therefore, why don't
