Which raises another question: By converting the source, we actually edit all old and current versions of all articles. So, when I look at an old edit of mine, it willk show something different from what I wrote at the time. I know that this is *supposed* to only affect syntax, but is retrospect changing of user submissions OK with the GFDL? (After all, we're not making a new version based on an old one, like editing; we'll be changing the sumbission itself.)
I don't see why the GFDL would be a problem. In the worst case we'd have to consider it a 'revision' - the GFDL does not oblige us to give the old versions, only to specify the authors and version history.
