You are correct which is actually the argument that Gleu made to me
about moving to XML. I did find however that if you ran postgres.xml
through tidy it cleaned things up nicely.
Secondly the make postgres.xml would be a one time thing. I would
happilly take the time to get postgres.xml into a format that was
reasonable and similar to how we currently do the postgres.sgml docs.

Well not authoring editors though. Emacs or Bluefish won't blow that
stuff away (just realized Bluefish doesn't validate :( ).
