	Most of the other projects that I know of have been doing this
recently, too.

	Which honestly, shouldn't be a problem if people are actually testing
and reviewing. :-)

	Also, you could have a script that publishes the CVS-docs to the web
and refuses to post a new version if the XML validation fails.

	That would suck, a bit. We should make checksetup note that docbook is
optional, and have checksetup do the doc rebuilding, perhaps?

	I think it sounds like a good idea. It seems simpler, all things
considered, than having four different "versions" in CVS of what's
essentially the same thing.
