You know, Havoc, I personally am not sure. I generally avoid lout for
everything but ASCII output. I suggest you submit a bug.
What would be nice would be to have alternate techniques for
formatting debiandoc-sgml documents. I maintain both jade and sdc.
With jade, we'd need DSSSL to be able to format debiandoc-sgml, but
the limitation with jade is that it doesn't have ASCII or NROFF
backends, and it seems that people are loath to add backend to jade
since apparently its wierd C++ code. sdc's problem is that it uses
non-free bigloo, but little birdies tell me that will be fixed by late
fall.
