Hannes, I agree. But have you noticed that after marking-up the
license using DocBook it had been changed, which is not very well?
Please compare http://docs.php.net/manual/en/cc.license.php with
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode . While the
second license has all the sections and sub-sections numbered (using
letters and roman numbers), in our manual we have all the sub-sections
bullet-ed. It is a bit of a problem, because throughout the license
you will find references to Section 3(b), Section 8(f), etc. I think
any lawyer will point out this drawback.
I propose to mark-up the license using only <para> and <simpara>'s and
manually numbering all the sections and sub-sections accordingly.

Regards,
Simion.
