Apologies for being so harsh.
And I have nothing against DocBook or its documentation.
I just don't feel that the community would be served well if the 2.0.2
version was hardcopied as is. I tend to buy books as references and I feel
that the 2.0.2tar file of the TDG would give the wrong impression of DocBook
if it were hardcopy.
