The web-based format is OK for random navigation to a specific topic, but it is weak for reviewing and balloting. It's very difficult to know how big the spec is, how much of it I've covered, and what I have not read yet. Unlike a typical document, there are no "pages" and not even a detailed table of contents where I could check sections off as I read them. As I read through the spec and jump from page to page, it's almost impossible to know when I've read all there is to read on a topic. I suggest that future FHIR ballots include a PDF of what is ballotable. If the spec is concise as it claims, then a PDF should not be too voluminous.

hah. The PDF would be massive (all the supporting stuff) - and we don't even know how to produce it. But there is a linear table of contents - it's the first thing on the documentation page, and from the home page. For exactly this purpose. Don't know what to do to make it more obvious.
