Basically, I agree. The only issue is if you want the web docs to
reflect a released version and also have docs for the current state of
CVS. We can either do it by checking in HTML to a www dir (and using
craig's method for docs reflecting current state of cvs) or only have
xml sources in cvs and use the branch facility of cvs (which I fear is
morely likely to get messed up).
