Re: DocBook Guidelines

[Joshua Drake <poet@linuxports.com>]

Hello,

I honestly can't answer that. Part of me says yes but on the other hand
all of our current documentation
is in 3.0/3.1 format and there are changes to 4.0 I would assume that
could make this transistion difficult.
What I do know is that we only want 1 version of the DTD we accept.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
