Nit 1: I'd prefer the following format for the data dictionary:

-m   (Local Object)[xref]
-   [wavelan_cs.c, 564]
-
+m  [xref] [wavelan_cs.c, 564] (Local Object)

I.e., three times as many entries on the screen and with the
constant-width part aligned.

Nit 2: You can drop the "Report" from the name of every section, we
know it's a report.

I'm continuing to explore this wonderful resource.  Do you intend to
GPL the source?
