Yes, exactly, displaying raw ReST files is a kind of last possible 
fallback. Of course I support the idea of packaging rendered formats 
with the source (for example, PDF or single-page HTML), but my worry is 
one of timing. Can we really manage to get up to date and rendered 
manuals upon a given release? Of course, this could be part of the 
release script, but maybe it's too complicated and the question of 
timing remains. This is why I could imagine the Doc Team providing an 
extension to download one or more formats, which would then be linked to 
from the EM. This way the changes to the Core are minimal, we need just 
plan some hooks at the right places. The extension could even provide a 
Scheduler task to sync the manuals.

Cheers
