And who proposed that we ditch the existing man system?  It sure
wasn't me.  I think you missed the main point.  The point is to
provide an interface to our own hypertext document (faq's,
tutorials, GNU info pages and such) and possibly provide an
*alternate* interface to the manual pages.  

I might suggest that this whole bag of things (man pages,
tutorials, FAQ, GNU info pages and man(1), lynx and httpd) be
wrapped up as a optional "documentation" package.
