 Why have it in one format that needs an additional program to convert
it into another format? The only sense I might see in having it in SGML
is to be able to offer it in different output formats. We (and most
others) don't do that, so I don't see much sense for not writing it in
*roff right from the start....  With the benefit, that it is the direct
format for man anyway and doesn't have the problems maks mentioned.

 If a conversion is needed I might be interested to do it.

<Alfie> Leute - das ist das IRC, nicht IRL - das ist ein Unterschied.
