Right.  I am really thinking about any packages that are meant to work
with GNOME 1.x.  ie. packages which will be part of GNOME 1.4.1 or any
packages which use the GNOME 1.x platform and which people want to work
on RH 7.1 and potentially new releases of other Linux distributions. So,
we really only need to worry about SGML for now.

Hopefully by the time we ship XML docs with GNOME 2.0, the XML wizards
will have worked things out with the LSB :)

er... Let's make that by the time we are readying our first beta of GNOME
2.0, which isn't too far off really.
