> The discussion of how much depends on content, how much on format

IMHO, a format is designed once and ideally remains static, whereas many
good documents are a dynamic entity, whose dynamics are only provided by our
efforts. Thus, whilst good design is critical, its also essential to do it
and move on to the real job at hand.

Whilst having roads is essential to driving, the real focus is on car
technology to chuck a burnout longer, faster with less fuel consumption per
airborne rubber particle :-)
