My own taste is not very important...  ;)

What you propose below (kinda "For this read that") looks to me like the 
band-aid while the new unified documentation is done.

Possible, you will need Robert or Julle approval.

I really think it's for tutorials or if a TYPO3 for Dummies ever get 
published...

I have somewhere, on a CD, a drawing made by Kasper in 2002 and he used 
the Ski/Snowboarding metaphor !

Anyway, I really think that what you propose is good for a year or so 
then the new documentation can replace the old one.
