That's good. But we could argue for preferred formats - if someone does
know LinuxDoc or DocBook and DTD-X but we support LinuxDoc and DocBook I
don't think it's too much to politely say we prefer LinuxDoc or DocBoo
but not DTD-X. The problem with accepting stuff that isn't already
marked up is that someone has to mark it up...more time and more effort.
