Welcome to the Open Source world :-). If we weren't passionate, we wouldn't do
it.
And when the tools suck, we do one of two things -- use different tools, or fix
the tools. In my case, I'm using different tools for my next project, ones that
I know are reliable and work correctly. I have a sneaking suspicion that ESR's
passion here is going to lead him to fixing the tools, but on the other hand,
he may have concluded that his contributions aren't welcome in the SGML
community, because they don't meet some purity test (i.e., they're practically
oriented, rather than being pretty, theoretical, and utterly useless).
