Thank you Toby! By the time we have our first set of textbooks at 1.0 status 
the whole issue might be moot due to advances in digital paper. 

At this point the /last/ thing we need to concern ourselves with is how 
exactly our content is going to be physically put in front of students. It is 
/far/ more important to worry about establishing the framework needed to 
create that content in the first place (with an eye toward following 
government-set content standards). The beauty of the GNU FDL is that anybody 
can republish it.
