Overall, nice!  I see it's already live, but another tweak you might
want to make:

+## File mounts
-A perhaps little-known fact is that, on Linux, filesystems do not need to have
-a root directory, they only need to have a root node.  A filesystem that only
-provides a single regular file is perfectly valid.
+To transparently translate a file into a different format, like we did above, 
we
+make use of two little-known facts about filesystems and the VFS on Linux.  The
+first one of these we can explain immediately, for the second one we will need

lifted

Ah, yes.  I don’t think I’ll send another update just for this, but I will include it if I need to send an update for some other reason.
