When the slime is replaced back to reason more will come.Interesting sentiment. Very German.Hey, he is not the only German participating here.
Which I think might have something to do with the heat level. I've been on this list for a while, and I know Bernd isn't ignorant. He may have occasional language bobbles, but I wouldn't do 1% as well trying to express myself in German.
Reading the discussion, I feel like Bernd's objection is based on a perception that ESR wants to *replace* groff -man with DocBook, where I believe he wants to use DocBook as an *interchange* format for all system documentation. Having looked at DocBook (and worked with XML in general) myself, I believe that interchange (rather than authoring) is its best use. In other words, write your documentation in whatever markup you're comfortable with and translate it to the interchange format.
I hope that helps to clear up any misunderstandings. -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t Unix Text Processing: "UTP Revival" http://unixtext.org/
