Some things we only learn by trying the experiment and seeing what works
or doesn't.   If the cost of xml man pages is too high, then I can live
with permanently converting them for things like this, but when we can
end up sharing the text between specs & man pages, then I'd prefer that,
even at the slight tools cost, vs. having to maintain two copies.

For instance, since the libSM spec has chapters that are basically
man page style synopis/parameter list/description of each function,
those could be put into .xml files that are used to generate man pages
(which libSM currently doesn't have) and included into the generation
of the spec.
