I am of course. Just to make sure: there is no DocBook envolved at all? I would love to see DocBook at the core. And you regard the file format, that "embraces" the articles (DocBook?!?), as nice enough? I mean, I am sure, it must actually be nice enough, if it's Dave Pawson's work. Whatever grammar you are using, I guess we can derive RNC from that, which will enable my happy authoring in emacs with nxml-mode. If I create an article (for the time being I asssume a DocBook article in one HTML chunk), how much extra work is it around that? do I have to manually keep redundant information like the article title and its creation DateTime? Can we get away from that sort of redundancy? You are a bright guy, that deserves my admiration. I am only asking silly questions and creating cheaky requests. So I am looking forward to any news from you.
