I'm grateful that you indicate problem spots in our documentation and
offer suggestions. But may I encourage you to just do (TM) the changes
yourself and submit patches in the future? Your suggestions would make
it on the website a lot faster that way. We are eager to help you set up
your environment to do this.

A comment concerning the hyphenation patterns: I think what you suggest
is necessary but there was also the idea of sparing the average FOP user
the necessity to dig into licensing issues. A really frustrating
experience. Just for the record. :-)
