/usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz reads:
"Text marked as a citation, such as this, is rationale and does not form
part of the constitution."

But in this text document, rationale is not marked in any way. It's
therefore impossible to tell which parts are rationale and which are
proper parts of the constitution without looking at the WML source.

Hi Jakub,

Sorry for taking 8 years to reply on this useful suggestion... And thanks
for it!

It would be best / pragmatic to ship not just .txt copies, but also .html
typesetted stuff in the package; .html is created during build time, see
doc/Makefile.  As we say: patches welcome.

Bye,

Joost
