I have tried a HTML document in WP8. It loaded, but the user interface
is a
little strange. There is a rather odd method to their system but that
could
be me - I hack HTML in an editor like Pico.

Here is how I am going to attack this:

1) Verify that DocBook and WP8 really do work.
    a) use the windoze version first due to disk problems.
    b) use the X version second. Q - are the results the same?

2) Take my scribble and document it using X-WP8.

3) If I have to, I will upload enough of the /doc stuff to my shell
   account (BSDI) in order to check the WP8 output.

4) Give an offering. May cause my scsi drive to get here quicker.
