My understanding is "yes" (either). (IANA XML Expert)

|

|

.txt -> SGML for small documents isn't all that hard. I've done a few, and
|
||
will assist with translations as needed.

|
||
|
||
Writing something and maintaining it are at two levels of difficulty.
|
||
I'm a horrible C coder, but in college my friends had me debug their code
|
||
because I was better at maintaining the code than they were.
|
||
|
||
Once an author gets their document back in DB format, it should be easier
|
||
to maintain, since the perfect example is right in front of them.

Anyone else have SuSe 6.4 and can help out?
