Ok, that is good advice.  We will get something worth reading first.

Yes of course, I realize that the ability to generate many different
publishing formats is good.  I intended to include some networks
diagrams in the networking chapter.  Simple figures would be more
concise in TeX; but these would end up being converted to PNG/JPG/GIF
for the HTML anyways.

I guess the DocBook is a lot easier to understand than Tex/LaTeX for
most people; SGML is closer to HTML.  A wide audience is always good.

Somebody might like a hard copy.  This makes me queazy.  I don't like
to kill trees.
