  Thanks!  There are still a few rough edges, but things are
improving, especially if you look at the latest stuff in the CVS
archive.

  FrameMaker is no longer used, so we only have to worry about one
legacy format, LaTeX.
  I don't think this is a "pet format" issue; there are advantages to
SGML/XML conversion, once there's a specific DTD and the SGML v. XML
decision is made (it's not at all clear which to use).  There are also 
advantages to *not* performing a conversion, primarily that the time
saved can be used to actually improve the content of the
documentation.
