Actually not only I have to convince the translator -- I have to
convince Bruce *as a first step*. I have tried in the past and failed.
Now he is open to discuss changing the format of the FAQs, so I suggest
this idea again, and here I get a ton of negative responses from guys
who have never had anything to do with the FAQ at all ...

I mean what interest does Josh Drake have on whether the FAQ is in SGML
or XML?

... and no response from Bruce, either.
