"What can we cut" is the wrong question. The right one is "what are our requirements". Here's my try: HTML: required nroff with an macros: required PDF: wanted (try printing a website) plain text: nice to have (for me personally, more than that) info: nice to have If a solution we like can't provide something that's nice to have, we can decide to take it anyway. If a solution we like can provide something that's nice to have, we should let it provide, unless it turns out to be a drag.
