+I don't have strong views on which format we use for docs. Html has the\r
+nice feature that most people are happy writing it and making doc\r
+writing simple seems a good idea.\r
+\r
+One negative for the pod2texi approach is that debian stable does not\r
+have texinfo 5; to test this series I had to build the package from\r
+source. \r
