If you tell people they will need to learn to use a new editor to write
for the LDP, then many people will be turned off and not do it. But if you
tell them that they can use the same editor that they now use (with
several simple macros for LinuxDoc tags), then I think more are likely
to try it, especially if you can explain in a few pages by example what
the tags do. Presenting both options: LinuxDoc or a simple new editor
designed for DocBook would be even better.
