You know that it is my opinion that the same reasoning counts for technical
documents and maybe even for other data entities. If you didn't know it,
well, then I say it here.
You asked for reasons why for example standards should comply to the same
guidelines. The reasons are the same, IMHO. I can't understand why you are
arguing here. You asked, and I gave.

Fine.

Come on, Manoj. I think I covered quite some things beyond software
documentation.
I provide the same reasons for standards, too. That you disagree with me is
a whole different matter, but don't say that I don't provide reasons, only
because you disagree with them. Mabye "reason" is not the right word here.
"discussion entries"? "arguments?"

This is your opinion.

Here is my opinion: Standard documents are technical documents and should
fulfill the same guidlines as software documentation. They should be dfsg
compliant to be included in the Debian main distribution.
This is all I have to say about this, really. But this is only my personal
opinion. I'll continue collecting all opinions and "reasons" or "arguments"
in this thread.
