Probably a good idea to assume that one person will do all the
screenshots in one pass.  These should be done with a later test version
of FC3 (test2 or test3).

To fill the space, perhaps a verbal description of the screen, noting
anything that is different from how it appears by default, i.e., what
you would want changed for a screenshot.

One nice idea about setting a standard is the person who does the
screenshots can grep all the XML for "FIXME" or "SCREENSHOT".

I'd suggest putting in blank <screenshot/> blocks along with a
<remark/>, but I'm not sure you can do that without breaking the build.

Not yet, but we will.  That job will need to be done either at the end
of Sep. or the first week of October.
