Oops, resending to the lists with my subscribed address ....

Yes there is good stuff in the old Guide.  I am mining it for all I can to
make sure that nothing in it gets left out, but I just got started and I'm
not done yet. Or perhaps the more advanced stuff in the old Guide won't
easily fit into my "minimalist" Guide; if so it can be accomodated
separately.  Either way, I don't want to leave anything out.

Yes, I have the same idea.

Yes I thought so too.  DocBook gives a lot of flexibility.
