That's our intent going forward - this is legacy documentation
written in the X Consortium days when all the members were companies
paying tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege and framemaker
licenses were not an issue. We've talked about converting all the
docs to a common format like DocBook XML, but no one has volunteered
to work on such a project - once they do, we have had volunteers with
FrameMaker licenses offer to export the FrameMaker docs to a format
that can be converted to something more generally useful.

Crap happens with all projects, regardless of license, it's just
different forms of crap.
