found yet? [snip] I can see in share/sgml/freebsd.ent:

<!-- Entities for various architectures. These are to be used only for denoting a variant of FreeBSD for a particular architecture (e.g. &os;/&arch.i386;). Other entities should be used when referring generically to an architecture, particularly because entities such as &i386; properly denote trademarks and registered trademarks. --> <!ENTITY arch.alpha "alpha"> <!ENTITY arch.amd64 "amd64"> <!ENTITY arch.arm "arm"> <!ENTITY arch.i386 "i386"> <!ENTITY arch.ia64 "ia64"> <!ENTITY arch.pc98 "pc98"> <!ENTITY arch.powerpc "powerpc"> <!ENTITY arch.sparc64 "sparc64"> <!ENTITY arch.sun4v "sun4v">

This is from rev 1.93 of freebsd.ent:

date: 2007/08/11 19:17:41; author: bmah; state: Exp; lines: +15 -0 Add &arch.*; entities for the various architectures. These should only be used when referring to a version of FreeBSD on a specific architecture, e.g. &os;/&arch.i386;. Use other, already existing entities (such as &i386;) when talking generically about an architecture, in order to attribute trademarks correctly.

Thanks, Dmitry. These seem reasonable to describe danger@'s daily builds of FreeBSD-i386 and FreeBSD-amd64.

I'm just surprised that I didn't see them before; I thought I looked in share/sgml/
