The bible, besides being a excellent source of statistical information about the languages it has been translated into, is often used as a reference book, like an encyclopedia or dictionary. Those are of definite use to most people, especially when there are programs to aid in using them as a reference (dict, bible-kjv). What's of lesser use is something like the anarchism package, which is a collection of documents, not required on an OS, not designed or organized as a reference text, and not usable by any particular program. (Amazingly, doing a quick scan of the doc section, anarchism appears to be the only such text.) -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
