Subject: Output formats of documentation
Hi Olly,
I've just read our ideas page.
Distributing the SGML source only is like distributing
the troff source for man pages. In this system the needed
formats are constructed on demand an cached in /var/catman.
Also the TeX fonts are created by kpathsea on demand.
Such an cache should be provided for the sgml documentation, too.
As there are many possible formats and many documents, there
should be a strategy to remove old, unused formats, e.g.
last recently used, least frequently used or something like this.

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on
it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled
away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw
the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books were opened; and another book was opened, which
is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in the books,
according to their works." Revelations 20:11,12
