Everyone -- please do your best to make the XML conducive to tweaking with 
Perl/Python/Ruby and Vim. This is more than just controlling linefeeds, it's 
also having a simple and obvious hierarchical structure, hopefully without 
too much indirection, and certainly contained in a single file.

Because many XML parsers can't deal with DTDs or schemas, please make the DTD 
or schema validation only, so a simple parser can parse apart the XML.

In my recent adventure with Mandriva's bad Memoir package, the only way I 
could troubleshoot the problem was to use Vim on the file. There are certain 
activities for which the LyX front end just doesn't cut it, and Vim or 
programmatic approaches become very necessary.

I'm in Florida/USA so I can't come to the Berlin meeting :-(

Thanks
