Sounds like a good plan. As long as the information on how to setup 32 bit 
Firefox on AMD64 with 32 bit plugins is available, I don't care what form 
the page takes. Mainly because this is one of the first question someone 
switching to 64 bit dapper asks. Is there also going to be information on 
setting up the real player plugin that's on the original page?
