On a more general note, does it bother anyone else that the "new" snort 
rule documentation no longer shows the signature?

Often when I get questionable alerts, I want to see what made the rule 
fire.  Surely there has to be a better alternative than grepping the 
rules file on the sensor.  Can't you allow something like the 'oink 
code' logic to let the new HTML page render the rule itself?

Jeff (who got his oink code to work to get rules, now wishing I could
      properly display the docs as before)
