Remember that this document has to be read by an independent third party and 
they want nicely layouted pages, which I think they have a right to demand. 
ReST can just not provide that, but LaTeX can. Also, for simple (in terms of 
layout) documents like this, they are still readable in LaTeX source form.

Ok. I should have made the change set come together.

But I don't consider LaTeX to be unreadable.

 Remember that this document has to be read by an independent third party and 
 they want nicely layouted pages, which I think they have a right to demand.

Right. Additionally we have a couple of large and complex tables around
that ReST simply can't handle. It's less for having nice stuff than
having a system that can actually handle it. Also, very likely the
document is going to be split in multiple files because it's pretty
large right now.

Cheers,
Christian
