Absolutely right.  We needed something translateable that could be rendered 
into HTML.  The choices were put all the content as i18n() calls right into 
the source (not terribly manageable for writers), some kind of HTML (not very 
translateable in the KDE system) or a docbook hack that would let us at least 
use the existing translation tools.  It worked ok for the purpose, but it's 
definitely a hack.  Now that the docbooks are (ok, will soon be) available in 
KHelpCenter, we could redo them as proper documents inline with the rest of 
KDE's manuals, but for a hack, it's a fairly useful one.
