Um...the print version of "The Art of Unix Programming"? I thought that
came out pretty well.

I don't have any desire to kill off Texinfo, actually. It's
overelaborate and old-school presentational, and moving the Jargon
File from it to DocBook was a wonderful thing, But it can survive
as a composition format without getting in the way.
It's info files as a delivery mechanism that I want to kill off. For
on-line browsing, Texinfo content should just merge into the rest of
the webby goodness instead of being its own weird little ghetto.
