I considered the removal of the SGML tools a pity - I'd have liked to be able to write man-pages in a more powerful form of markup later, e.g. DocBook. That way, integration between man-pages and the handbook would probably be easier. We can probably cross that bridge when we come to it, though. Eivind.
