Well, I know that PD material is GPL/FDL *compatible*, but I'm not sure
to what extent that means you can cover it with the FDL without risk or
trespass. If I get it marked up as DocBook/XML, I will certainly make it
available to TLDP, although I would be surprised if there's interest
there in governing uniformity. (By the way, just to avoid confusion,
that's not a slam, nor was I referring to TLDP in my earlier comments;
I've made use of plenty of their docs in the past.)
