This is not really related to the original post, which deals with the
markup language in which we are writing documentation, and is a
different objection to the one which you raised to Phil's post, which
was about whether upstream content was appropriate for Ubuntu and
whether Mallard supported the removal of content.

You've raised and re-raised this idea on several different occasions
now and the more that happens, the more difficult it becomes to track
historical discussion of the idea. In my opinion it would be helpful
for the team if discussion of this idea (if it continues) be focused
in one place, so that we can keep track of people's views and resolve
the subject once and for all.

I would really like it if rather than continue to raise this idea on
different threads, you simply respond to this post, which remains
unanswered:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2010-January/014277.html

The discussion can then take place on that thread. Obviously I don't
have a problem discussing this topic at a team meeting either if you
prefer (or in addition) but I'd just like to ensure that we can easily
find the arguments and counter-arguments when we need to.
