 exports(5), mountd(8): First pass at clarifying export semantics.
 
 The exports(5) man page is full of walls of turgid prose that should
 be itemized lists with syntax templates, and I'm itching to rewrite
 it, but let's get the security-relevant warnings out of the way
 first.

 exports(5): Revert warning about `-ro' on read/write file systems.
 
 Looks like the nfs server does enforce that after all, in spite of
 the rather oblique commentary in the BUGS section about export
 options being tied to local mount point options with which they must
 be noncontradictory.
 
 And there's no reason in principle it shouldn't enforce this -- it
 just need to block various file system _operations_, rather than the
 subtree issue where the criteria for evaluating whether operations
 are allowed on particular _file handles_ are too painful to
 contemplate.

 exports(5): Substantially rewrite for clarity.
 
 Hope this is an improvement over the turgid paragraphs all about
 first/second/third cases of everything.
