I believe I understand at last the Invariant Sections and their
consequences but can you explain what other problems are serious
enough for such drastic measures? (Cover Texts excluded, because they
have more or less the some problems.) I already asked the question
here and it seems there is a consensus on that mailing list that a
GFDL document without Invariant Sections and Cover Texts is 100 %
free.
