delightful! with a round or two of proofing, this sounds like an
ideal approach to what i've been after for months now...
http://sourceforge.net has room for a project like this.
matthias, you should start a new project over there that does
exactly this, and it sounds like you've already got some
volunteers.
i've got "newbiedoc" registered there, where we're trying to
find intelligent ways of creating new documents and keeping the
old ones interlinked and formatted wisely and so forth -- but
your idea would put us out of business once it had some steam
behind it... cool!
full steam ahead!
