Thanks, Bill. I have been working on an XML section for search
relevance today in fact, since it makes a good "working document" for
decision-making as I plow through the draft of the Evergreen DocBook
XML styleguide.

1. If anyone who knows this could respond at some point, what kind of
numeric adjustments are allowable for config.metabib_field? I.e.
floating multipliers, integers, etc.?

2. I would be most pleased if someone could send me a text or csv
version of config.metabib_field (no emergency, just "sometime"). Mike
Rylander kindly emailed me the whole table but I couldn't scrape it
out of email in a usable format, and I thought presenting the entire
table somewhere in the documentation would be useful. Mike also sent
me the search.relevance_adjustment table, which doesn't have all those
prolix xpath statements so is much narrower, and was simple to
reformat.

3. If any of you out there have built a glossary database such as is
described in Stayton's "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide," chapter 17,
I could use some help figuring out exactly where the glossentry
elements go. /headscratch
