Yes, you better have some control on the document you publish if there's 
anything to change.

I tend to say that you have 'nothing' to learn. The number of commands you 
need to make a good document is ridiculously low :-) You'll master them in 
less than one hour, again by comparing with the templates/docs on CVS with 
their output. Of course if you want to learn XML in deep that's up to you but 
has nothing to do with writing a doc the Arabeyes way ;)

If you still want to pursue in that direction, then I'll need to talk with 
other members of the core team and I'll let you know.

Far from it (read above :-)
