I've already done this, by the following process:
* updated the most recent sources (Jan 2002) to match the most recent
  HTML release (Sep 2002)
* marked it as modified, as required by the licence
* put the two reports together
* applied the small number of publicly discussed fixes since the HTML
  release
* fixed a small number of typographical glitches I noticed on the way

The results are at

Share and enjoy.  Please let me know of any typographical errors.
