[patch snipped]

Hmmm...interesting!

This patch not only changes the DSL (which is fine), but it introduces a
new element in the DTD (which I have a problem with).  The
longcitrefentry element is something that would only exist on FreeBSD,
and nowhere else, making us (in yet another way) different from any
other DocBook-using project.  There's some precedent for trying to avoid
this; we got rid of the <port> element some months ago for exactly this
reason.

Don't get me wrong...I am in agreement with you that there's a bit of an
odd situation.  I am just not crazy about the proposed
solution...unfortunately I don't have any better ideas at the moment!

Other thoughts?

Bruce.
