Yes, this is the main reason.  And not only developers but also users
need `gnus-faq.texi' to generate the manual.

The main problem is the DocBook/XML parsing, I'd guess.  Maybe Karl
can comment on this.

Karl (or anyone else familiar with Scheme), how can we add something
like...

  (insert "@ignore\n   arch-" "tag: "
	  "64dc5692-edb4-4848-a965-7aa0181acbb8"
          "\n@end ignore")

... to `main' in `xml2texi.scm'?

Bye, Reiner.
