these with a single-source solution would be nice, i.e. using DocBook
profiling. It would also facilitate merges. This basically consists of
adding edition="print" to the affected section of preface and then setting
up profiling. (I can do it, just ping me if there is consensus on this).
I don't see how anyone could disagree with that :)
Is there an "old version" capability there?
