+<!--
+This section uses the <para><code> construct to enable permalinks for the
+various QA issue and warning messages.  The file templates/qa-code-permalinks.xsl
+is used to locate the construct and generate the permalink.  This solution
+leverages the fact that right now this section in the ref-manual is the only
+place is all the YP docs that uses the <para><code> construct.  If, in the
+future, that construct were to appear in the ref-manual, a generic permalink
+would be generated for the text between <code></code>.  If a better solution
+can be found then it should be implemented.  I can't find one at the moment.
