should XML/SGML documentation ship with sources



I have a question for further discussion, which I'm unsure about.  May
or may not be a policy issue.

Is it a good practice for SGML or XML documentation to ship with
source?

Pros:
 - providing source lets contributors make patches more easily

Cons: 
 - wastes disk space
 - why bother, just get the source pkg

Is this a policy issue or a developers-reference recommendation (best
practice) issue?  It feels like best practice, actually.
