That's why I started working on the book two years ago.

Well, I'll try. My idea of having the book on paper and on the internet
is twofold. It is more comfortable for anyone to read on paper, but having
the book also on the internet would help the spread of DSSSL.

About a co-author, that's why I post this message here. I can write english,
but that's not my mother language. The text will need reviewing, of course.
And being the subject so complex, I think the content should also be reviewed.

And about the lack of DSSSL material, that's why  I started working on it.

I remember having accessed your comparison table time ago. I can send you
the text so you can check it if you want. Although it is half in spanish
half in english now. It is not completely in spanish. Sometimes it is easier
for me to put english when the text in the standard is ok, as for example
in the explanation of the groves structure.

Thanks for your pointers on publishing companies. I'll check.

Well, any translation would be nice. But let's start with english!
