It's both. As an educational foundation, the Guild's interest in the project is twofold: having books available in XML furthers access to such materials. Secondly, the process of learning a DTD and marking up the texts provides valuable experience with XML to our members and volunteers. The project shouldn't require a Masters degree in DTD authoring, nor years of expertise in SGML or other markup technologies. It *should* be very easy to do. Indeed, that 'civilians' are able to successfully learn and markup the texts is proof of concept for XML in the mass-market.
