Yes, Kluwer was taken over in 2009; there are manuals from 1997 still on the 
Internet and a Kluwer BibTeX file still exists in the Harvard collection but 
the kluwer.cls is not available anywhere.

The final section which will need attention is Springer; all the svj* classes 
were replaced in 2013 with a completely new sr-vorl.cls. The documentation is 
in German; so it would be helpful if a German speaker were to revise the whole 
of the Springer section (though I have some German and could have a try if no-
one else is in a position to do it).

Having got rid of all the sections which have definitely been superseded - 
others may need updating like the Springer section - my plan is to structure 
the middle chapters of Additional.lyx to match entries in Document Settings 
like Document Class, Modules and Bibliography and move all the sections 
currently in other chapters into these new chapters so that a user gets a 
clear indication of material which relates to particular Document Settings 
entries.

I have also prepared some material for these middle chapters to cover topics 
not currently covered in Additional.lyx. I hope that a step by step approach 
will enable people to keep up with the changes.
