I don't mean it to be so... I got it the right way, I dislike RTF too, but as said before, not everbody's got a Adobe Writer License or wants to "learn" how to use a XML editor. It's not about cutting down possibilities but to communicate disadvantages of certain decisions and advantages of the others. For writing docbook I need nothing more than a vi, I don't care what it looks like, 'cause I know this is the last part of "editing a document". Again: not everbody's used to organize work logically, therefore they need unlogical ways of saving their thoughts...that's what I'm (we're) coding for. 1 Million Singles in Ihrer Nahe.
