Eric,

I see where you are going with this, and this is valuable information
to include in the docs. However, the interactive mode and backend info
doesn't seem to fit properly with everything else on the page.  I am
not sure where to put them yet, but I will see if I can take a deeper
look tomorrow.  I also already noticed some other wording issues in
some other parts of that page.
