Yes, I know that.

Since the rebuild time with wml 2.0.2 was less than 6 hours, I don't think
it will hurt if this is done.

This and related changes I'll skip, for now. Too many possible places for
this to go wrong.

I'd rather not remove the first two headers, because the files using
consultant.wml (see webwml/english/consultants/*_*.wml) may use those
features. The <box> isn't used anywhere, nor is anything from
common_translation.wml, so those seemed safe enough.

These would break compatibility with wml1.x completely... not that we have
much compatibility right now (the pages don't look okay), but I'd still like
a consensus on the list.

(ditto for those chunks of menubar.wml patches)

I'll apply the other changes. Thanks.
