+  <para>These are the release notes for the DocBook Website
+  distribution. This file provides a high-level overview of features
+  and public API changes in each release.</para>
+
+  <para>Bug fixes are (mostly) not documented here. For a complete
+  list of changes, including descriptions of bug fixes, see the <ulink
+  url="NEWS"/> file, which is auto-generated from the commit
+  descriptions for changes in the project CVS repository.</para>

+  <section>
+    <title>Release 2.6.0</title>
+    <para>This release includes some significant schema changes, as
+    well as a few relatively minor changes to the Website XSL
+    stylesheets, and a handful of bug fixes.

+       url="http://docbook.org/xml/4.4/index.html" >DocBook
+       4.4</ulink>. The main benefit this provides is the ability to

+       <para>RELAX NG schemas in RNC (compact-syntax) form as well as

+       Website editing in a RELAX NG-aware editor such as Emacs/nXML
+       mode or oXygen XML Editor. (Note that the RELAX NG schemas are
