Just a quick note to say that I've had lengthy discussions in the past
with print designers about the non-triviality of auto rendering clean
print design from cleanly structured information - maybe they were
making a case for their profession but ..

.. as books about building networks in infrastructureless regions are
almost by definition most useful when paper is the best distribution
mechanism, it'd be worth thinking about the rendering/pod side of
things too.

It looks nice and you're right that authoring environment is most
important for now - the pod stuff can always come later - the sprint
is for writing after all!
