That HTML file is now quite obsolete in view of slonik_ref.sgml including
all that documentation and more.

I'm going to see about changing at least one of the "ducttape" examples to
have the 'master node' be node 2 and the 'slave' be some rather higher
number just to demonstrate the non-necessity.

There are plenty of places where slonik defaults to treat the "event node"
as 1; not having a node 1 requires somewhat more verbose slonik scripts...
