Before we have more discussion, I'd like to make sure there is a
mechanism for capturing the resultant decision and rationale in a
useful way, so we don't have to do it again next year :).

For example, a design and rational document for Grace would be good.

Now I'll start another controversy; do it in LaTeX :).

Actually, I think texinfo is good for Gnu projects. Some seem to be
using DocBook, which I've never used.

Of course, flat ASCII isn't bad!
