[Laszlo-dev] toc.xml error in doc build

I've made the changes and plan on sending out a changeset and 
checking it in. I'll inspect the docs after the next nightly build runs.

One question. What should the text say at the beginning of each 
service? For example, I modified the docs for LzGlobalMouseService 
and it now says (as the first paragraph in the docs):

  * <p><code>lz.GlobalMouse</code> is the single instance of the class
  * <code>LzGlobalMouseService</code>.</p>

Do you want more detail than this? I have made a similar change to 
each of the 12 service classes.


Thanks!

Phil
