Sure, but that begs the question of what is common, and that's yet
another flamewar.
Even if people wanted to write the docs in XML, I'd be happy to have
docs. We can always PODify them if XML proves troublesome. It's
having no docs that is the situation we want to avoid.
There are also many documentation needs. I don't think we need to
distribute the design docs as manpages, but we need to distribute
the user docs as manpages. When we get to user docs, we'll need to
consider the ultimate destinations for the manpages. Until that
point, it's all talk with nothing behind it.
