So there are 2 large problems I have with the SGML version, let's see if
we can deal with them separately:

(1) re-arranging and regrouping the items: the stuff in the release
notes should end up in 7-8 clear categories, with items arranged in
descending order by importance.  SGML+CVS makes this a task which cannot
be done collaboratively.

(2) Seeing my edits.  There's no edit-->view-->edit cycle with the SGML,
and it's really hard to check grammar and languge ... let alone compare
stuff to the alphas ... in raw SGML.
