Good question. The difference between these approaches to me is that
when I know that users are using GNOME I can just point them to the
specific guide and not worry about them getting confused over the
different desktop environments.
Maybe that is not a big advantage but it is worth considering.
XSLT would help us over come this, so we authors could write the
documents as a unified whole, right? The first chapter could include a
"How to identify your desktop" bit. Each task could have a mini-ToC
pointing to the each of the 2+ sets of instructions. Mind you, I don't
quite know how to accomplish this, but I'm confident it's possible.
