HI,

> OK, but you have said elsewhere you have little time to contribute.

I actually said that the amount of time I have to contribute to this project 
varies over time. It's currently summer and Xmas holidays here in the southern 
hemisphere from now until mid January. People get a minimum of 4 weeks holidays 
 a year here in Australia. [1] Some companies it’s more and 10+ days public 
holidays.  I’m also coming up to 4 months long service leave.

> What happens if you and Chris are busy or no longer around?

That is the same for anyone working on this project, both Chis and I have been 
working on this project regularly for around 5 years so the risk is low. There 
should also be other people who know some XSLT, it been around a while (1999+) 
[2]  and is well supported, for instance all modern browsers support XSLT.

Why not both? One use case is will the documentation be available as a download 
and work offline? Another is can I turn it into other formats i.e. convert to 
PDF or to have as a reference on my ebook reader?

> Maybe there is some advantage to static HTML that I don't understand.

Offline viewing, format portability, SEO and search-ability (google ranking 
favours static fast sites and can’t index some dynamic content), higher 
scalability (but that’s a nice problem to have), and usually less bandwidth and 
faster on mobile. But that not to say dynamic sites don’t have different 
advantages.

Thanks,
Justin
