Given the current system is XML based, with xml files and in files
required, the new system is an improvement and should be accepted. We
can look at fonts, hyphenation, etc. as a consequence of getting some
movement and momentum into evolving things.

Switching to something other than XML-based is a medium- to long-term
thing that I would like to see happen. Improving the XML-based systems
now is something I would like to see happen.
