Having LDP documents published in a single source format (preferably
something compatible with Unicode, like XML DocBook) would really help a
lot the translation of LDP documents.
Currently translators needs to "speak" DocBook and LinuxDoc and
translation projects needs to be able to handle both formats (for
publishing, translator's documentation, etc.).
This adds a lot of complexity for no added benefits (at least from the
point of view of a translation project).
