I have no objection to that. It may be a good idea. However, it is not something that should be done ad-hoc or in a hurry. Certainly, the version distributed with Apache and to the mirrors would need to be in HTML, since we need something that can be read with the base webserver on pretty much any browser. For this to work, someone would need to invest a significant chunk of time in developing the format, and making sure that tools were available to convert it to other formats. In any case, converting to XHTML is probably a good first step in converting to more generic XML. Joshua.
