You interested in comments on this incomplete draft?  No?  Well, here
they are, anyway:

http://www.python.org/~jeremy/compiler/node4.html

    What do you mean by "visitor instance"?  Is that a fancy name for
    function (in which case, just say "function"), or is it something
    else?

    "Compile the file filename and generated filename.pyc" should be
    "generate" I think.

http://www.python.org/~jeremy/compiler/node8.html

    getChildNodes() says "This method is like getChildNodes", which
    should be getChildren

Hmmm...  I guess that wasn't very much, in the end.  I avoided making
comments on areas that clearly were going to get more work.
