 I am one of the people who are concerned about the doc framework, and
 this was the reason why I joined the team so I should have been more
 active in this area (sorry, all...).  Since I have difficulty a bit
 in my real job, the cleanup work is going quite slowly.

 Anyway, from my investigations about such frameworks in recent years,
 I think the problem is maintenability of the documents in a source
 form from average developer's point of view.  Maintaining the
 toolchain is not so complex and I think some of us can do so like we
 maintain a compiler in the base system.

 I am not sure creating a group for documentation work is effective,
 but I think it is good to discuss such a topic with each other.
