I wanted to comment on this. Are you going sgml crazy? :-) (We need
more humor here.)

Do we have to sgml everything? Perhaps we can add an sgml mode to psql
like the html mode we have?

I think some things that are referenced only occasionally or on screen
are better left as flat text files. Why not just let them pull it up
with more or vi?
