There is a large number of possible options how to design and
implement a printed encyclopedia. And when it comes to usefulness,
one-volume concise encyclopedias are very much limited anyway.

This is not an XOR decision. Anyone can come up with a practical
solution how to fill content originating in Wikipedia into dead trees.
And I would like to hear them all :)
