I've committed it to the CVS tree now. With a few changes:

- Promoted the subsections within "Other things worth knowing" to
  top-level sections for better visibility.

- Corrected an error in the "Nulls" subsection: the second if...then
  fragment returns 'Equal' if a and b are Null. Since that's not
  surprising to someone who sees Null as a value, I pointed out that
  the fragment (also) returns 'Equal` if a is Null and b isn't.
  I also added two one-line examples and a tip to this subsection.

Preliminary HTML and PDF versions can be found at the Doc Subproject
homepage:

What needs to be done:

- Update to fully reflect 1.5 release.
- Add images to CVS (I took some screenshots and used them for the
  preliminary version, but maybe we want/need others).
- (Auto)create an index.

I don't mind doing this myself, but in the next 2 weeks I probably
won't find the time. If somebody else wants to do it, that's fine too.
