Hi Bob
I have a little comment on your remark regarding SGML format used by
eCos documentation (AKA DocBook).

It may look arcane to you, but it's widely used ref: http://docbook.org
(though it would have been better if it was XML version).
I would encourage you to try editing some eCos doc page (or even produce
your own). It's not so hard, and you'll see the first advantage vs some
kind of Office - you can use your favourite text editor. Other advantage
is ability for versioning with common version control system. You'll
discover more once you try it.

Ilija
