My trust in Bob (and Norm.... and the Oasis WG) goes perhaps a bit
further.
I've been using docbook since... a long time.
So far, whatever they have done, I have built on, rather than
deprecated.
I'd trust them a bit further...

Ok Ben I'm with you on that.
As soon as Norm feels a bit more confident I'm sure
it will become more stable. Don't you?
Think longer term perhaps?
I don't see Bob|Norm....and the WG as 'in it for the short term gain'
do you?
I guess I'm saying trust these guys.
They have v.little to gain by not doing the right thing.
Am I right?
or.....
