I was assuming the FAQ was written using either linuxdoc or docbook, since the
HTML version is similar to the HTML output of linuxdoc sgml run through
sgml2html and the request contained in the FAQ for additions to be written in
sgml. I really didn't mean to get a discussion started, I just wanted a local
copy that I could edit in lyx :). BTW, what DTD is the FAQ written in?
