Not a DOS-ism exactly, but something which used to confuse me personally
in the examples was the weird use of <tabs>. I know now they follow a
quite common coding style, and so I think it is perfectly valid to use
it for the source. But as minor an issue as this might actually be,
maybe in the examples all the <tabs> could be removed, both to not
confuse new users (looking at some examples with wrong tab settings
makes them totally un-readable) as well as not to give them bad ideas,
like using the same conventions in their own code :)
