 <!-- Simple schema for FreeBSD Project news.
 
      Divide time in to <year>, <month>, and <day> elements, each of which
      has a <name>.
 
      each <day> element contains one or more <event> elements.
 
      Each <event> contains an optional <title>, and then a <p>.  <p> elements
      can contain <a> anchors.  Within the "href" attribute of the anchor
      $base will be replaced with the base URI necessary to reach the FreeBSD
      document root, and should always be used to start URLs at www.FreeBSD.org
      or one of the mirrors.
 
      Use the <title> element if the <p> content is lengthy.  When generating
      synopses of this information (e.g., for syndication using RDF files),
      the contents of <title> will be preferred over <p>.

 	  <title>PAE support merged for upcoming FreeBSD 4.9</title>
 
           <p>Luoqi Chen has begun the process of merging PAE support
             from FreeBSD 5 to FreeBSD 4-STABLE.  The PAE support
             allows FreeBSD machines to make use of more than 4
             gigabytes of RAM.  This functionality was originally
             written by Jake Burkholder under contract with DARPA and
             Network Associates Laboratories.  Additional changes for
             individual device drivers will follow in the coming
             weeks.</p>

 	    discuss performance related topics pertaining to FreeBSD.
 	    Acceptable topics includes talking about FreeBSD
 	    installations that are either under high load, are
 	    experiencing performance problems, or are pushing the
 	    limits of FreeBSD.  Concerned parties that are willing to
 	    work toward improving the performance of FreeBSD are
 	    highly encouraged to subscribe to this list.  This is a
 	    highly technical list ideally suited for experienced
 	    FreeBSD users, hackers, or administrators interested in
 	    keeping FreeBSD fast, robust, and scalable.  To subscribe,
