Quite understandable :)

I think it is now OK to have this DocBook format in DDP as long as
makefile works to create html, plain text, ps, and pdf.
Yes it is "unexciting task" but at the same time quite trivial and easy
text substitution too. Problem was you have 3 nice tables.

Right things to do it to convert developers-reference to docbook and
integrate your document. This was too much for me.
I actually made a patch for developers-reference already. (I
substituted table into list and taglist. I know it is not as elegant
but missing this in developer reference is not good either.).
I put patch, source, html, tar.gz etc. under
http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/
Direct link to the Junichi's section is
http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/dev-ref/developers-reference.html/ch-best-p
If you guys are happy with this, I can commit this to CVS. (The remaining
task is to move URL out of main text to common.ent.)

PS: I changed TOC to sect2 for ease of read and changed build script to
use new debiandoc features.
