Questioning assumption that since gnome > mallard, so *must* ubuntu docs

[Matthew East]

Hi Kyle,

I won't reply to everything you've said because we've both set out our
opinions adequately I think, but there is something I want to deal
with.

You've made two separate points here, but I think both are separate to
the issue of "which markup language?". Whatever markup language we
choose, we will be free to organise our branches and source packages
however we think fit, and we'll have the ability to use localised
images (if we wish to) and modify our build system (if we wish to).
There might be a few tweaks here or there but the basic principles are
the same.

On the actual points themselves, again I think I've said enough about
my opinion elsewhere.
