	Because a lot of people doesn't know about that. :-(

	The <br /> doesn't change the output because of wml,
but the substitutions of "quotes" by <q> has impact on how
data will appear.

	Probably I won't have much time before DebConf, but
hopefully during DebCamp (DebConf and after it) we could
write some recommendations about this and as part of our
common goal to have a new web face for the Project.

	Another valid point, is that having a common code
base (even if WML will change it) is important for smart
changes and massive patches/fixes.


	Kind regards,
