Re: [Bug-gnupedia] XML Article format

[Seth Nickell]

I would also *strongly* encourage some form of "bibliography" section in
our markup, and perhaps a "citation" tag that would be used to refer
between GNUpedia articles. The former increases the veracity of an
encyclopedia, or any academic reference work of merit, the latter
increases its usability.
