If this happens to be the path chosen by the community, what effect
will it have on editors ? In particular, how will it alter what we
have to do to locally render our changes before we commit them ?
And is "If you want to view the Docbook RNG which we will base on"
an expression of your hopes, or a decision by Gerard ? It sounds
horrendously definitive ("we will do this") when in my opinion the
discussions earlier this year failed to find any consensus,
The thought of using php in a 'distro' where no-one pays much
attention to security fills me with horror.
