The rationale for standardizing on a specific XML toolset is
so that the conversions in the repository don't consistently
flip-flop.

Right now, if everyone were to use their own transformation
tools and versions, the diffs in the repository would be
horrendous.  

I would back the rationale for updating the HTML at the same
time as the XML so that our website could be properly
updated when the docs change.  -- justin
