I would prefer to keep it as a <book>.  When we add support for image
collections and other more exotic stuff an <article> will get
unwieldy.

Also, eventually I want to have an EOG User's Guide and an EOG
Developer's Guide.  The latter will have the documentation for our
public interfaces exported via Bonobo.  The idea is to have a <book>
for each guide and then join them in a nice all-encompassing <set>.

I also think an <article> is not the right thing to use for software
documentation :-)

Good point.  I'll make sure the next version has one.

Not yet.  Will be in the next version.

Done.
