Hi Arun,

Well, Mumi does, and has.  Pulling the code from Haunt is the honest and
right thing to do.  What does 'want' have to do with it?

I don't think it has much bearing.  Which other packages consume Mumi?
The effect in the dependency graphs is almost zero.

That's an appealing idea---and maybe David could shed some light on the
need to reimplement sxml->html---but it should not stand in the way of
fixing things.

It could be something to consider for the future.  If David were to
contribute the routine to guile-lib, it would disappear from Haunt.
That would cause us to inquire where it went and then switch to
guile-lib as a prerequisite instead.

While your offer is generous, it would be an error.  Let's learn from
the past: That decision was made at an earlier point in time.  By
failing to keep up, it caused the need for this patch.

Kind regards
Felix
