I could have sworn I replied to this ticket o_O

It is highly unlikely we will support this format.

Firstly, the tool is in Java and we are actively reducing external
dependencies; reversing this trend would take considerable persuasion.

Secondly, the tool is not part of DocBook 1.76.1, it is a completely separate
system. This system is not packaged for Fedora and is unlikely to readily pass
the packaging process.

Thirdly, the approach taken basically builds a separate website for each book.
This lack of integration makes it unsuitable for product based websites.

Fourthly, the approach used is client based and it's highly likely that the
sheer size of some of our content will make this system perform extremely
poorly. Loading megabytes of search information in to java-script is going to
be extremely expensive on bandwidth and browser resources.
