That's a good idea, although I doubt we'll have "a LOT of readers" coming on precisely at 6. (I suspect you may be overestimating the size of our fan base. :) Either way, it's a decent idea anyway, will save some people some download time, and doesn't cross the "no custom formats" line, so I'm inclined to go with it.

One warning, though, for anyone who grabs the zipped version:

Read it in a fixed pitch font.
