I dunno what to tell you; it doesn't work for me (otherwise I would
never have noticed this :).

Also, if I do a "find" of my installed w3 .el and .elc files looking for
the token "w3-about" I get back no matches.

If there is a reference to it somewhere in the source tree, then that
reference is not actually propagated into the installed version of the
code.


FYI, I'm using w3-4.0pre.46.
