Thank you, now I´m calm again!  ;-)
My only concern now is if this result in *very* big documents
(like the FTB), but that´s not a big issue!

Well, I you take a look at my own wiki, you can find an embryo
for this structure. Take it, modify it and GO!  :-)

Yes and I guess that is something OOo and/or DocBook can do
nearly automagically?

BTW, it is nice to hear that someone at last understand the key
problems of T3doc and start to adress them in the right way!

And if you continue discussing documentation issues in this list
(not in the US list) , you also may get more help from me and
others. Hint, hint!  :-)
