"You" in this context is me, as an individual?  The issue I have here 
(and it may well not be an issue, since I'm not sure I grasp every 
detail) is the one I mentioned last week:

If we are going to be able to have elegant and flexible typesetting of 
DocBook files, shouldn't DocBook structures like epigraph be in the 
core?  Simon shouldn't have to generate lower-level code for these sort 
of things (the meta info stuff as well) with his project, because it 
then becomes more difficult for the user to customize output (and for 
him to maintain the code?).

Or am I missing something?
