J"org that URL is valid. I don't know why he used the "no.such.domain", but the
page is very nice and maintained by jav@interaccess.com.

I think that we need to add some info on the handbook on how to submit
documents and some basic info on SGML. I recall once I wanted to help with
the documentation project and I didn't get very far because I did not know
SGML and there isn't much online anyway. There is practically nothing
in the handbook which indicates how/where to send contributions.

If someone from the documentation project could spend some time in writing
the basics for people who would like to contribute it would pay off in the long
term.
What I suggest is that in the handbook we add:
-A few basic sample SGML pages so people can use them as guide
-Where existing documents are so people can FTP them to study them and
modify them.
-What are the programs one need to use to validate/parse (or whatever one
needs to do with SGML).
