�a y est je suis beaucoup plus libre.
(nous avons un responsable DocBook maintenant
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Voici une suggestion qui nous a �t� soumise.
Vous en pensez quoi ?
Sachant que pour le DocBook on va faire le plus simple possible et avec
le moins de DTD possibles, pensez vous que cel� puisse �tre int�ressant ?
N'h�sitez pas � en discuter avec Jorge (parle portugais et anglais) en
le contactant de ma part.
