Excellent question.  I went through the documentation and removed
<literal> tags where appropriate --- there are cases where we are
referencing an actual number, and there <literal> makes sense.  Applied
patch attached.

I think the larger question is whether we should say "zero" for 0 and
"one" for 1, etc.  Prose typography suggests we should, but for
technical manuals, I am not sure.  Ideas?
