Hi Rob,

Although of course it is useful for us to evaluate Yelp with regards to
its support for xml, the decision to ship html was made by the whole
team at a meeting, and IMHO we should stick to this. The reason for
making the decision was not only that Yelp does not fully support xml,
but among others, that we can ship the same documents in the operating
system and on the website, not to mention both for Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

We can work to ensure that the html built is good from a formatting
perspective.
