PDF may be good for read-only publishing, but copying text from PDF is
often problematic. If i want to copy from this document to a wiki, i
prefer plain text. Besides .doc or .html are better at describing the
structure of the document, so i can use automatic tools to convert it
to a wiki. PDF is only about presentation, not about content.

Was it indeed published as GFDL? I don't remember seeing it. It would
be great, though.
