No objection from me, I just want to bring it up again that handling 
these with a single-source solution would be nice, i.e. using DocBook 
profiling. It would also facilitate merges. This basically consists of 
adding edition="print" to the affected section of preface and then 
setting up profiling. (I can do it, just ping me if there is consensus 
on this).
