7 Right, I'll fix this.

14 I mentioned a reason for this in my email to the list on the new
15 format. At this point, I'm more concerned with having a visual
16 reference to the extensive history of commits to metadoc.xml. Also, as
17 you said, any changes to metadoc run the risk of doing lots more
18 damage than a change made to a regular guide.

27 I've done a little bit of stuff in our XSL over the years, but only
28 small changes. Nothing major. We definitely need someone who's
29 completely comfortable working with all aspects of our XSLT. Alec
30 (antarus) has been playing about with a copy of our repo for some
31 design work; he might be able to contribute a patch or two as issues
32 come up, if we ask really nicely.
