OK. In which case (and unless no one objects) I'll:

  1. Remove the 2 tags (one regular, one branch) I added last night.

  2. Create a doc/en/handbook/ directory and add that to the repository.

Then, the files created by the DTD migration will go in the new 
doc/en/handbook/ directory, but while the migration is happening, 
doc/handbook/ remains the 'current' copy of the Handbook. Once the 
migration has been completed, doc/handbook/ will be removed.

The Japanese translators should probably still branch their repository,
since I'm not sure how long it will be until the converted handbook
is complete.

The FAQ will (eventually) go through the same process, leaving us with
doc/en, doc/jp and so on.

For symmetry the existing man pages could (at some future point) also
move to /doc/en/man/, although that's probably such a contentious change
you can forgot I even mentioned it :-)
