It isn't clear to me why we need to develop the TeX back-end and JadeTex
separately. What I would really love, in fact, is if JadeTex shipped in
the standard Jade back-end so that no special installation was necessary
at all. The output of the TeX back-end could be standard TeX or LaTeX
files that could be processed with a simple command line:

tex jadeoutput.tex 

I'm not sure right now how I am supposed to relate my output to the
JadeTeX macros. I admit that I haven't spent more than 20 minutes
researching it, so this is almost certainly an RTFM issue. Is there a
JadeTex for dummies page? 

Anyhow, it would be nice if printing from SGML+DSSSL via TeX would be as
easy as via RTF.
