but there is no nice mode for viewing dvi files in XEmacs.  On the other
hand texinfo is a defacto standard that is doing quite well.  It really
makes sense to me that you should be able to view the XEmacs FAQ inside
XEmacs.  It really seems to make sense to use the emacs documentation
system for this.  I really do fail to understand the arguments against
it.
