It doesn't matter, or at least it doesn't matter enough.  We must
keep our eyes on maintenance costs.  It is the cost we pay and pay
and pay.  Plenty of people can maintain Texinfo and HTML pages if
you die, or become Vice President of Operations at Amnesiac, or
whatever.  Can't say the same for the Widget library, no matter
how nice it is.  Also if you do it correctly now, more man-hours
won't have to be consumed doing the job over, later.
