And that's the killer argument.  Encouraging contributions
is one thing: coercing them is another.  And I at least
frequently deal with open-source code from the 1990s or
earlier, and I don't want to have to distribute the little hacks
I need to make to run that code on current OSes.

No cigar.

No,  John.  I want formats that are actually useful, rather than over-
featured megaliths that address all questions by piling on ridiculous
internal links in forms which are hideously over-complex.
