And thank you, this means that I don't have to reply to myself with more
questions.  :-)

Ah, good, that means you've done my document, and won't be offended that I'm
working on yours (something out of gnome-core with your name on it).

Bummer.

Guess I'll need to get a userid for the doctable.  I'll try to remember to
email Dan this evening.

Uhm, maybe?  I won't be testing them right away, but I can mail diffs to
somebody to check out.  Hopefully after I get some new drives at home I'll
be able to do testing with Nautilus.  The instructions for compiling
gnome-db2html2 don't seem to work for me, since I can't get a config.h
generated on my systems.  :-(  

New question.  With the new docs, should the license section for the app
always be tagged id="license", and refer to the GPL (assuming a GPL licensed
application)?  Later,
