I have started a GuideXML doc for this. You can find it in my devspace
[1]. Its really just a base bones doc at the moment, as I am no overly
fond of pomp and circumstance when writing. Thus it is rather terse
(like Mr Twain said "Eschew surplusage"). I welcome any comments
and/or contrib. However, once this is "ready" for prime time, we can
bring in docs-team for any further refinements.
