no, no: please don愒 misunderstand me: I am not angry with the people; I
am angry because I am in fear for the project. I love the docbook idea,
and I basically find the xsl stylesheets Norman Walsh did excellent too,
also his reference.
I just want to warn, that one may not forget the normal user, because I
saw other great projects die because of this. and this would be really a
shame, _because_ the idea and the work up to now is so good.
AND: I just wanted to point out the "typical engineer blind spots",
which can be at the end of the day, the dead of a good project.
So I am afraid, not really angry!
thank you for your comments!
