I was thinking about this the other day as a way of keeping and
enforcing common XML formatting, I am of course an indentation freak :-)
(It frustrates me as I find it makes documents less readable, and thus
uses my time)

I thought I'd just wait for conglomerate (http://www.conglomerate.org/)
to get more stable, but I didn't realize that there were so many
gnome-doc specific things it would not do.

I think this is a very good idea, I may hack something up in Python/GTK+
later. Does anybody else think this is a good idea ?

Love, Karderio
