several more things ...

- unpack the archive preserving directory structure. work in 
subject-index. i've "grouped" the tag types. create-SubIndex has some 
hints (comments in the code) and so do the .txt filenames that i used.

- i figured if i could filter, i could convert them to a landing spot 
from the index. the simpler (and some of the compound) tag forms have 
been done. sans the conversion to a landing place.

- compound tags are a single landing place for more than one topic from 
the index

- i've discovered some of the compound tags (in the mark-up) are 
malformed, that is they aren't formatted correctly, or their intent is 
not clear. some of the more complex tags can be made simpler without 
sacrificing intent. finding them and cleaning them up (on the wiki) is 
the biggest task.

- once the mark-up has been fixed and all tags types can be parsed 
correctly. it's easy enough to reformat into a landing place.

... i'm sure there's more
