Some time ago I considered the problem of converting this file to ReST 
format.  But I gave up on the idea, because the necessary changes were 
so widespread and the resulting text file would not be easily readable.

Replacing things of the form "A ->dep B" just scratches the surface.  
That document teems with variable names, formulas, code extracts, and
other things which would all need to be rendered in a different font
style.  The density of the markup required to do this would be
phenomenally high.

In my opinion it simply was not worthwhile.
