If a project does not intend justify it's decisions, why does it appeal for help and consultation in a respectable public forum? I cannot see any reason at all why Gutenberg should not publish it's reasoned analysis of existing DTDs, if it wants to be have any academic credibility.

This isn't *bad*. of course it is not. but in the pseudo-scientific culture we are all in, you are expected to demonstrate your reasoning. > Good DTDs will bubble up to the top, but they won't necessarily be the ones > that are around now, nor will they necessarily be the ones written by > today's 'experts'. ah, the inevitable scare quotes! ok, better back off. > Popular use will determine was does or doesn't work for > people. And that IS a Good Thing. possibly, possibly not. but then you'll have to find a way of measuring what works for people.
