Yeah - I'm already handing the HTML report off to my boss.   He was  
amazed at it!

I agree - this sort of thing would be really nice.  Honestly, I was  
thinking it would be really nice to have some sort of diff'er for the  
HTML report - so that my boss could see what has been newly  
implemented between different commits.

My best low tech solution was to generate the text specdoc, and diff  
it in trac.  I would help you out with this tool (or set of tools) if  
they seem intriguing to you.
