	Great to see all the advances, kudos!

	Overall, you think we should ship 1.6 with the old man pages still  
in place or will the new ones be able to replace them, even if not  
100% finished? Also, how are you planning to generate their troff  
incarnations out of the xml sources? We do need to offer something  
when a user types "man port" ;-)

	Regards,...
