Actually, my point of view is on behalf of Debian.  I package a good
deal of the SGML and XML infrastructure, from the SGML and XML DocBook
DTDs, the DSSSL stylesheet, and common SGML and XML entities.  I'm
involved in (but by no means responsible for) the formulation of
Debian XML and SGML policy.  I'm also a user.

Huh.  Is this a glimpse into the politics over at RedHat?  It does
suprise me to hear of SGML users being so regressive.

Understood.  We're a bit off topic.
