The RNG addition looks fine, but a LOT of this commit message should
instead be living somewhere inside docs/formatcaps.html.in file, ideally
as part of this same commit.  Hmm, that file is already woefully
incomplete, as it doesn't even mention how we have <cells> as a
subelement of <topology>, so I guess I can live with formal
documentation in a followup patch (since it is a bigger job).

Weak ACK.
