Yes, the LSB now specifies a good SGML/XML filesystem layout.  The next
version of RH looks like it will ship with the new layout, but I'm not
sure about anybody else.  Since I can't figure out how to attach an
email to this, I'll just paste the announcement that I've got.  Enjoy!

The standardization proposal of the infrastructure for an SGML & XML 
installation has been accepted by LSB and FHS :-).

From George Kraft (LSB) :
---------------------------------------------------
Dan Scott from the LDP looked at it, then SGML formatted it for the LSB.
It is in the LSB v0.4 spec.

Also, Rusty Russell reports that he has integrated the 2nd part into FHS
v2.2

Thanks so much to all the package maintainers from the various distributions 
and all the other people who made this possible. Many people spent a lot of 
time discussing the proposal, making suggestions, writing code and doc. Thank 
you.

It is perharps the occasion to rename the very badly named mailing list 
####@####.#### Should we continue maintaining the 
standard on something like ####@####.#### Or 
should we simply destroy the mailing list? Jorge?

####@####.#### remains as a place to discuss the utilities 
from the "docbook-utils" package, conformant to the newborn standard, that we 
might develop in the future.
